Ok, I removed the armature, so now I will replace the bearing. Do the parts from the kit go directly on the trans spline shaft? I'm a little confused about that part!

Yes parts slip on the shaft. Flat washer-spring-washer-rubber bushing cone side facing motor.

I don't install the new bearing, I found it many times created a new noise, so I would leave it off unless yours is making noise already.

Thanks, the bearing is bad, so I will be replacing it! It appears to require a special puller since the bearing retainer is in the way of the puller fingers that I have, any suggestions?

I use a press and a bearing splitter, but a small bearing puller should work fine for one of these.

I'm in the exact situation and unable to remove the bearing. Planning to pick up a bearing puller. Did this work for you? And also, how does the new bearing go on?

Thank you.

The new bearing needs to be pressed on.
If you can secure the armature standing up on end, use a socket that fits the Inner Race of the bearing. Put a smear of lock-tite on the motor shaft to help lubricate it and use the socket and a hammer to tap the bearing on.

Question?
How do you guys clean up the armature? Never could get the commutator flat and clean without a Lathe, or do you just clean up by hand? If it works...it works.
Our shop don't need the burden of a warranty repair bill because a rebuild motor didn't last. When requested to install or rebuild a used motor, its "as-is" no warranty & most customers elect to go new.
