In reply to Joseph. Joseph, maybe you can help me. is there someplace other than the unreadable label to find the model # on a Advantage Manufacturing 1 hp pool pump? It's 9 yrs old is it even worth replacing the bearings? (if I can find them) Thanks, Jess

Hi, I was browsing for an easy way to press the bearings back on and I had to add my 2 cents. I pulled a part a pentair v48y the other day. This is only the second motor I pulled apart that I can remember. I might have pulled others a apart long ago when I first got out of the service. Least I knew I needed a bearing puller. I know you didn’t need to learn that. Any way, I put the gear/bearing puller on the front bearing and started cranking and cranking. It was not coming loose. I got a heat gun out and started heating the shaft and bearing up with the tension from the puller still on it and it did not pop loose. I took a closer look and there was a little C retainer clip holding the bearing on (you know the kind that take a special pliers to remove) . Fortunately, I did not use the frustrated brute force that I sometimes use. Something was going to give. I don’t know how common this is but you have to take a good look at the shaft and bearing to be sure there is not a retainer clip in front of the bearing. I bent the clip up pretty good, but I think I’ll be able to get it to work once I get the bearings pressed on. Thanks for letting me vent.

In reply to Gregg.

Hi Gregg,

Yes off course :) If your bearings are worn, the pump will draw more amps for sure, I used to actually work as a bench mechanic in a pump shop for years,

Let me know if you have any questions or need additional help,

Joseph

I just have a small question. First of all I think this is very imformative. I learned a lot. I have been dealing with pumps and motors all my life. My question to you is. Will a motor draw more amps than rated if the bearings are making the noise I hear? I have a centurion motor with a challenger 1 hp. It is rated at about 7 amps at 230 volts. I am only drawing about 5.o.
