Removing parts:

Procedure:

  1. Mount the rotor into the rotor pedestal.
  2. Use circlip pliers to compress and remove the external circlip securing the bearing.
  3. Mount the axial bearing removal tool onto the bearing and adjust it so the legs grip evenly.
  4. Slowly tighten the forcing screw and carefully pull the bearing out of its seat.
  5. Remove the bearing from the shaft.

CAUTION

🗑 Do not reuse the removed bearing. Always install a new bearing during assembly.

NOTE

This step is placed here (between “Remove rotor” and “Clean motor housing”) out of true numeric sequence — it will get its correct step number during the planned final renumbering pass.
