How to replace bearings on motor.

[FlyEYE]

I received bearings from BocaBearings and am having a hard time trying to get out the original bearings. Any advice on how to remove them (the motor is an MK 2832-35), or is this simply an effort in brute force and ignorance. Thanks.

They may be glued in place with Locktite bearing retainer, I'd warm one in an oven at around 150 degrees for a bit and then try it. You should be able to tap it out from the backside if you can find a sturdy enough piece of round stock that will fit through the other bearing and be able to hit the race of the one you want to knock out. Even of they aren't glued in warming it up to expand the housing should make it a lot easier to get the old ones out. Stick the new ones in the freezer while warming the housing and the new ones should drop right in once you get the old one out.

are these bearings supposed to be lubricated at all?
