BEARING REMOVAL

1. Place the wedge attachment tool (P/N 1012812) between the bearing and the armature. Make sure the wedge
attachment tool is supporting the inner race of the bearing. If a press is not available, secure a bearing puller (P/N
1012811) to the wedge attachment tool and pull the bearing off of the end of the armature shaft. Support the
armature so that it will not drop when the bearing is removed (Figure 20-9, Page 20-6).
2. Slide the bearing retainer ring (32) off of the output end of the shaft (Figure 20-7, Page 20-5).

FIELD COIL ASSEMBLY

Replace entire field coil housing assembly if coils, pole shoes or terminals are damaged. (Figure 20-10, Page 20-7).

VISUAL INSPECTION OF ARMATURE

Obvious defects can be seen by examining the armature. If an armature has frayed or charred insulation, broken wires
or thrown solder, it is obvious without testing that it should be replaced. Faults seen during the visual inspection can aid
in diagnosing the original cause of the failure. Items to look for are listed below.
• Burned, charred, or cracked insulation
• Improperly cured varnish
• Thrown solder
• Flared armature windings
• Worn, burned, or glazed commutator
• Loose or raised commutator bars
• Bruised or damaged armature core laminations
• Worn armature bearing or shaft
• Dirty or oily commutator
