How to Replace
Both Bearings in a Feigao Motor.
You will need two things.
A wooden dowel about 1/2" wide by 4 plus inches long.
A retaining glue or ca.
The back motor plate is held in with retaining glue.
To remove the rear bearing plate (side opposite the motor shaft), You
are going to have to tap the front motor shaft on something solid.
This will force the back plate off. Once the backplate is off your
going to have to remove the rotor. We use a pair of pliers with
rubber ends, so not to damage the shaft. But it can also be pushed
out. Be careful not to damage or scratch the windings at all! Once
the motor is disassembled the bearings are going to need to be
pressed or pushed out. The stock bearings will get ruined on the way
out.
Once both bearings are out, clean up the bearing slot. Replacing the
bearing on the rear plate is easy. Make sure its lined up straight
and push it in. The front bearing is a bit more difficult. Lining up
the bearing straight is crucial. Than use the dowel to tap the
bearing in place. Than assemble the motor, using the retailing glue
or ca to glue it together. Take care not to damage the wires when
putting the rear plate back on.
