thanks for this video. I have changed bearings on a moped engine and did the pool motor bearings this weekend and it was very similar. one thing that can help getting the new bearings on is heating them in an oven at 300 degrees F for 10 minutes which makes them expand a bit and easier to install (wear gloves obviously as they will be hot).
Thumbs up my pump is a bit different and being my first time taking it apart that bearing holding bracket dropped and i wasnt sure where it came from.Thank you
I may have bent the top contact while reinstalling, and want to check it before I reassemble it, How much should the gap between the v switch contacts be when fully open?
These two videos are great. I made two mistakes... forgot to mark the motor assemby before removal, and second wondering about replacing the motor fan.. I had a ruined beraing and it melted the fan down. How do I replace that?
Can one use the SKF skf 6203 2RS C3 bearing for a Wayward Super Pump 1HP or must it be a skf 6203 2RSR c3 ? Any experience with SKF bearings and Wayward pumps?
Have you checked the line voltage? If the line voltage is low, the motor will begin to run hot. Also, pool motors naturally run hot, their temps can hover from 115 -200 degrees Fahrenheit. Induction motors create a lot of heat, the summer sun on the metal casing does not help much either. - MGS
I'm curious if this is a demonstrator motor for assembly/disassembly purposes. It looks as if the internal fan cage is on backwards; it doesn't look as though it will pull any air through the windings and exhaust it out the grill on the front bell of the motor. I have to replace the fan cage on my motor (as well as bearings), and the fan cage had the solid flange part (from shaft to outer edge of cage) toward the front of the motor, with the open part (just the ring support for the cage) toward the back of the motor. That motor ran for over ten years. I'm thinking your fan cage is on backwards. Can you verify this?
I just replaced the bearings on my Whisperflo 1.5 Hp, and it didn’t change anything regarding loud motor noises. Should I just replace the motor then? Because it should be nice and quiet.
I got 7 years out of my AO Smith, I assume the seals went last year and bearings rusted over the winter. Its not whining, sounds like rusty bearings. $20 for the seal/o-ring kit, and $7 for 2 bearings. Motor was a common 6032 bearing. This should make the pump brand new again for $27.
I have a motor that seized up when it was running...good thing I was close by to turn off the pump immediately. I not since opened the pump up and believe the front bearing is out...I'm looking around to see how to do it myself....Thnk you for you comment makes me wanna save $$$$
There must be something causing the premature failure. I'd recommend using a heavy-duty viton shaft seal to help protect water from running down the shaft. Second, make sure water doesn't build up underneath the motor. Also, make sure sprinklers aren't hitting the motor and make sure water is draining from the roof directly onto the motor. You may want to consider a motor cover to help protect it.
Hi sir I have the same pump 1.5 hp or 1.1 kw Can you send me the wiring diagram by cables coulor plz coz it not wiring and I want to wire it by my self and thank you
The noise you are describing is what a bad bearing would cause. So, the short answer is either the bearing was installed incorrectly or a bad bearing was installed. The only way to figure out what's wrong is to take the motor apart again. There are a lot of steps to this process, but a large number of things could have gone wrong.
If you want to make it even easier, never buy a motor with a v switch. It’s the most pointless, time consuming part of the entire motor. I can disassemble a motor, replace bearings, and have it back together faster than it would take someone to remove and reassemble the v switch assembly
Awesome video series, thanks!!!
Finally on how to do this in details !!! Thank you so much.
👍👍thanks a lot men that help's me too much... Saludos from Guadalajara México
Both are great videos. Appreciate you taking the time to show us how it’s done.
Thanks for watching!

Great tip!
Unlike numerous other videos on this subject, this contained actual usable information. Easy to follow too. Thanks for avoiding the ridiculous hype.
Thank you!
Great video, saved me a lot of $$$$$, thank you!
thank you! You helped me fixing my pool filter pump! Both your videos were extremely helpful!
Great job!
Excellent instructions!
Thank you, Richard!
Super merci très utile pour moi j'ai pu réparer mon moteur de piscine

Any idea what bearings for a Century ECM16CU is?

Is the pipe that you are using to push on the bearings a 1/2" or 3/4" pipe?
hey! thanks for you video, it is very helpful! i had changed the bearings, but the motor is still getting hot. do you know what might cause this?

HI, you know where i can find the bearing and parts for this Model Reliant bc2748nc Thank You
Hi, so my pump was loud but working. I changed the bearings and now it's overheating. Any thoughts? Thank you.
What is the difference between 6203 DW vs 6203 DG. One is also green and the other is black.
اريد ارقام رمان البلى للطلمبا الواحد حصان والواحدونص والاثنين والثلاثة حصان ضرورى
I have the VIRON eVo P300 1hp motor, what are the bearing numbers? 6202, 6204?Thanks Gary
To find the bearings, we would need to know the model, part or Catalog number of the motor, not the pump housing info.

Motor name plate work?
Serial no: PNA04126812 Volts: 230 Part#: 53977 Watts: 1080 Amps 7.35 RPM 600-3450 Phase: Single Hz 60 Thanks for replying

Do you mean 2RS 6203 bearings? Two side rubber sealed bearings: 40mmX17mmX12mm; ODxIDxWidth respectively

6203
how come i need to change my bearings 2 time a year on a hayward super pump

Heating the bearings in a toaster oven will expand them ever so slightly and they may fit on without pounding, or at least needing less force.
And it melts the lubricant....not good
Hi sir I have the same pump 1.5 hp or 1.1 kw
Can you send me the wiring diagram by cables coulor plz coz it not wiring and I want to wire it by my self and thank you
There is a wiring diagram on the motor's label. But we also have a general wiring guide: www.inyopools.com/HowToPage/how_to_wire_a_pool_pump.aspx
I did this, now the motor is very noisy, with high pitched noise. What'd I do wrong? Thank you
The noise you are describing is what a bad bearing would cause. So, the short answer is either the bearing was installed incorrectly or a bad bearing was installed.

@@Inyopools thank you! No more no-name brand bearings for me...
