to the armature resulting from an unsupported armature falling after it becomes disengaged from
the end cap bearing.
NOTE: Replacement of the end cap bearing is recommended if the armature is removed.
9.1. Place the end cap in a press with the armature facing down.
9.2. Place a bearing press tool with an outer diameter smaller than that of the armature shaft between the press
ram and the armature shaft (Figure 20-8, Page 20-7).
9.3. Have an assistant support the armature while the press is activated.
