Hello Machinists,
I'm trying to replace a seized up bearing on an electric motor from the power nozzle of an old central vacuum. I'm a guy that likes to fix things instead of buy new, but I want to make sure I'm actually able to remove the gear and bearing before purchasing a replacement. The original bearing was an NMB 608S.
I've attached some pictures of the armature of the vacuum motor. I need to remove and replace the bearing on the gear end of the shaft. I'm at a loss of how to remove the gear (and subsequently the bearing) from the armature. My guess is that the gear is press fit on the shaft, but I'm at a loss as to how to remove it. Do I need to do something with the pin thru the gear at the end of the shaft?
Thank you in advance for any advice that you can provide. I'm always interested in learning something new.
Thanks,
Kyle
