Have a fadal 4020 reman 2004, the spindle motor started making noise at the upper end recently. Took off the covers, listened at the belt area, definitely noise coming from the upper end of the motor.
Took off the motor end cover, the upper bearing pretty much fell apart. Think I got all the balls, have figured out it is the 6206 bearing, which I can order.
My question: can I replace this bearing without taking the motor apart (in otherwords, on the machine with just the top motor cover off) ? if so, what tools will I need? I'm having a hard time loosening the allen screw that holds the encoder shaft extension on, keep twisting allen wrenches...
Thanks!
