Mrs H has just presented me with our faithful Bosch PBS 7A belt sander. She has told me it is making a funny noise and smells a bit although I'm surprised she can tell above its normal din. She's right about the smell though.
One of the motor bearings has clearly had it; the action is gritty and rough and it's tried to melt the plastic casing it sits in. I can get a bearing cheaply enough but it looks as if its been pressed on to the motor shaft. What should I do with it ? Pop it in the freezer and see if it drops off? Take it off with the angle grinder and enjoy the sparks? Will I need to stick the new bearing in the oven to put it on do you think?
So many questions...
TIA
