How to remove bearing from the rear endbell ?

Are the bearings bad, or are you just upgrading from the start?

Thanks, I'll try and let you know.

No, the stock bearings are ok, just upgrading to a pair of Boca Bearing hybrid (steel + ceramic) bearings

Bye, Andrea.

Done, and very ease !

I've put the rear endbell in a clamp,heating it using a heat gun and then, using a drill bit of 5mm diameter placed into the hole of the bearing, gently moved it up and down, left to right, till the bearing pop out.

Thanks, Andrea.

Just another question: I reassembled the motor and the shaft can be moved a little in the up-and-down direction, let me say of about 1mm.

For sure I've placed the spacers on the shaft, but still I've the dubt that I've missed some shims, allowing the shaft to be firmly into the can.

For Castle Neu owners: could you please check if the shaft can be moved as mine ?

I checked my Medusa and the shaft can be moved as well, so probably this is the right behaviour...


Bye, Andrea.
