This shows how I do it. Baldor 1/3 HP motor. Start by removing the three screws from the fan shroud Remove the plastic fan. It is held on with one screw. Remove the four long bolts the hold the housing together. Remove the two bearing keeper bolts from the top of the motor. Tap the top end cover loose using a soft mallet on the fan end of the shaft and the ears. You can see the cover behind the motor in this picture. You can now lift the rotor from the motor. Using a press you can remove the upper bearing. Remove the bottom bearing in the same way. Press on a new bottom bearing. In this case we're replacing the original shield bearings with sealed SKF bearings. Press on a new top bearing. Make sure you remember to install the bearing keeper if you removed it when flipping the part over. New bearings pressed on the rotor. Now it's time to re-assemble the motor. First, install the bearing into the top cover and secure with the two screws. Line up the marks on the body and top cover. Tap the cover into place with the soft mallet. Install the four body bolts.     Re-install the fan and fan cover. Done.
