Never tap on the outer race when installing a bearing on a shaft. You must use a pipe, a drift, or a socket to tap on the inner race only. Tapping on the outer race can damage the balls, the races, and the cage as all the force is transmitted through them to the inner race. Tap on the outer race when installing a bearing in to a boss. For the same reason. I hope you replaced the ceramic pump seals, they were leaking as evidenced by all the corrosion.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was very helpful. I think I am going to have to do this exact repair. You have helped me to prepare for the job by sharing the bearing information. Thanks!
The stainless steel ####-ZZ bearings don't resist moisture as well as the original rubber-sided ones (-DDU aka -DU aka -2RS). Thanks for the detailed video!
Aa said before, never tap on the outer race. If you put the bearing in a toaster oven on broil @350° for 10 minutes it will usually push on by hand. You will need heat resistant gloves. Nice work by the way.
Thank you so much for posting this. I've ordered parts and should knock this out in a couple of days thanks to you. I have one question: what size (4/6/8 inches) bearing puller are you using? Thank you in advance.

Very useful suggestion.
Thank you for recording this video, I just finished fixing my pump, you saved me $2000 for a new pump, really appreciate it!
Glad you found my video useful!

Thanks for the update. Hope it lasts for at least a couple of years.

Thx for this - really helped!

Good video. Unfortunately all of my bolts were seized and the aluminum housing was brittle. New pump at this point
You could buy used ones on eBay.
Thank you. This was perfect

It's the 6 inch puller from Harborfreight.

@@SivaFolsom Thank you sir. I'm equipped now.
@@tf9623 Good luck.
Good video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
The front flange on the motor is to corroded to be reused!! That flange controls how much pressure is applied to the rotating seal, and it's gone!!
The motor has been working everyday since I fixed it. Will keep an eye on it and replace if needed.
The rubber washer you pulled off at 7:39…do you know the size? Mine was destroyed when I got to that point.
You may have to take the old one to a pool supply store and find out.
