I misspoke, they’re not really sealed bearings. More of a closed roller bearing. They look much like these. They do not come apart and they do not have a plastic seal.

Skates97 Posted January 30, 2019 Author Report Posted January 30, 2019 Well, it is a two person job in my plane which involved the aforementioned skinny kid that lives rent free in the house. Given strict instructions not to put any pressure on any of the tubes he was a huge help. Everything went back together and it was working great, spinning faster and smoother than previously. Sadly, it died completely, motor fried shortly after starting up for an evening sunset flight tonight so looks like it is going to have to be replaced. 2
