[GreenKeys] M28ASR Motor Saga

[Steve Garrison]

Yes Jim, I have a bearing puller coming from Amazon that should work just
fine.  Although I have sent a note to Paul Cembura to see if he had the
official Teletype bearing puller (part #84020) in his stock, just in case
the one from Amazon doesn't look like it will work.  And that method for
putting the new bearings onto the shaft has been noted by a couple of other.
Especially about pressing on the inner bearing cylinder.

I have replaced a lot of noisy motor bearings, but it's been a while so I
don't remember the exact procedure.  But I know I didn't have the official
bearing puller.  Maybe something I got at an auto store.  Since the bearings
you are taking off are no good it doesn't matter if you ruin them further
getting them off.  And to put the new ones on you just need a piece of pipe
or tubing that will fit over the shaft and press on the inner bearing
cylinder.  And then start the bearing onto the shaft and tap on the end of
the pipe.
