router bearing replacement

[stevetote]

Does anyone know how to replace the bearings on the armature of this router (milwaukee 5615-29)? Are they just pressed on and need to be popped off, or is there some kind of lock ring holding them on? How do you pop them off without damaging the shaft? Thanks in advance

Hey stevetote,
the rear or top bearing is pressed on and need a puller to remove..the bottom of fan end bearing is pressed into the housing itself and is held in by two screws..however,you will have to remove the collect shank first..it is threaded on..this sometimes has to be taken off with a socket and a impact gun..this might be one for the repair shop..
hope this is helpful..
