changing bearings

How do you change bearings on the HD5510?

Hi jim,

Your HD5510 has bearings on the armature and one on the arbor shaft. First you will need to tear the saw down so you can remove the armature from the field. Once removed you can remove the armature bearings from the armature shaft using a small bearing puller. The new bearings can then be pressed on or you can use a soft mallet to tap them on. The bearing on the arbor shaft is captive between the flange on the shaft and the shaft gear. An arbor press could be used to remove the drive gear and then the bearing could be pressed off. Assuming that you likely don't have an arbor press, you can replace the arbor assembly including the bearing with part #2610904889.

Good luck with your repair!
