Larry,

Like Jesus, I used a hydraulic press to remove the bearings from the 
armature shaft.  If you don't have the fcilities to do that, I would 
suggest that you find a auto electric shop in your area and have them 
remove the bearing and perhaps inatall a new one.  If you haven't 
already purchased a new bearing, shop around as necessary to get one 
that is double sealed, which will eliminate the need to periodically 
lubricate it.  While you have the generator apart, replace the bushing 
in the rear plate also as it is undoubtly worn and can cause damage to 
the armature if it wears excessively.  You should also read my article 
on using the proper fan belt and keeping it loose to avoid excessive 
wear on the rear bushing and the water pump bearings.  the article is 
at:  http://www.omgtr.ca/technical/tdtf_fan_belt/loosen_up.htm

Good luck,
Dave
