bosch 4000 table saw

[poorsaw]

My saw started grinding and sparking in the motor today. I was going to pull the motor off, but could not figure out how

Can someone tell me the best way to pull the motor off so that I can maybe repair it. I could not figure out if you had to take the saw off the stand or take all the components that raise the blade up or down off as well.

I was hoping that all you had to do was take the blade off and take the four screws off of the motor and it would slide out. that didn't work for me.

Can anyone help ????

You need to take the saw off of the stand. Then turn the saw upside down. release the bevel lever. tilt the saw on a 45 degree angle. Take the brush caps out and the brushes. There are four screws that hold the motor housing on. Take them out and the motor housing and field should slide off. Sounds like a bad bearing. let me know what you find.
