BEARING CLEANING AND INSPECTION
1.
Using a clean cloth, wipe the carbon dust from the two bearings. Inspect bearings by spinning them by hand and
checking for both axial (A) and radial (B) play
2.
Replace the bearing if it is noisy, does not spin smoothly, or has excessive play. Check the bearings and replace if
rusted, worn, cracked, or if there is an abnormal color change in the metal of the bearing. Bearings should be
replaced if there is extensive wear or pitting on the balls or on the rolling surfaces. Do not remove the bearings
unless they are to be replaced.

BEARING REMOVAL
1.
Place the wedge attachment tool (CCI P/N 1012812) between the bearing and the armature. Make sure the
wedge attachment tool is supporting the inner race of the bearing. If a press is not available, secure a bearing
puller (CCI P/N 1012811) to the wedge attachment tool and pull the bearing off of the end of the armature shaft.
Support the armature so that it will not drop when the bearing is removed
