So my new bearings arrived today. Only one motor is the problem child.
I've looked at all the guides and tips from people on replacement but I cannot for love nor money get either of them to budge out of the motor. I havn't opened the shell but being that they are soldered on I can't see that helping a huge amout.
I have seperated the motor, am poking a small screwdriver through one bearing at a slight angle so it catches the bearing below and trying to push that one out (knowing that once one is off i can use a dowl rod for the other. I tried pushing, tapping and even tapping with a hammer... no movement.
Is there any special trick people have used that has been missed in these guides or am I just (as always) unlucky to have two really tight bearings in one motor?
