Thank you for this very informative video. I liked the pacing, the amount and content of the dialogue and the camera work. I’ve been afraid to crank on the wheel puller to remove the bearings on my pool pump motor but after rewatching this I feel comfortable to crank away thanks agian
You can get away with a lot of abuse when you're pulling off the old worn bearings that will be tossed in the trash can. Don't forget to shoot a little oil on the puller threads. It can save your puller from damage if you have to really crank down in it.
Good stuff here. I have a 64 year old GE 3/4hp motor that likely will need new bearings. Your video gave me a better feel for what I was going to need to do to install the new bearings. Now if I could just find where I put my three-jawed puller... I like the notion of using a length of pipe to drive the new bearings home.
I cringed watching this. The shaft sure was clean when the bearing was pulled off. Heat the inner race of bearing with a MAP gas torch and it'll slide on with no issues. Beating the bearing is the worst thing you can do to it.
If you noticed, I used a pipe to make sure the force was on the inner sleeve of the bearings. That ensures the force doesn't deform the bearing in any way. I don't like to heat bearings when I put them on because it can melt the grease.

Nice video. Very helpful. going to replace bearing in my compressor motor
I would suggest marking the housing and the ends before disassembly so it is easier to line them up afterwards
That is a great idea.
What are those claw puller you used to when you pulled the bearing off? I’ve never seen those before! 6:40
It's called a 3-jaw puller or gear puller. They sell a set of four different sizes at Harbor Freight for around $40.
You don’t have to oil bearings?
These are sealed/shielded bearings that are pre-greased, so no oiling is necessary.
@@TheToolmanTim Exactly, and oiling in this situation is a temporary lube, and it makes a lot of noise, In these situations we need grease
Price of bearing
I just now noticed your post. I bought the bearings on eBay for just under $20 for both.
