How do I lubricate squeeking ball bearings

You dont, if the ball bearings are bad they need to be replaced, all pool motors ball bearings should be sealed. Taking apart the motor to get to them is a bit much for most people. First find the make and model of your motor how many ball ball bearings there are and find somebody that sells the ones you'll need. There's usually 2 and you'll have to take the front and the back of the motor apart to get to them and replace them. See attached what one looks like. Also if you do this yourself and take the motor from the pump its a good idea to replace the pump shaft seal as it usually leaks and easier to do while your putting it back, rather than after you put it back and it leaks.

Replace bearing on dyson dy-916217-01

I have a bad motor myself. The bearings make loud noises and the wife is on me to fix it. I can only replace the entire motor because the bearings are not available that I am aware of. The motor runs about $50, cheaper than having them fix it. Dyson does not have parts listed on their pages but you can Google the vacuum/parts and find them. Working on a Dyson is like working on an car. You have to take everything apart to get to what you need to replace. Good luck.

My Pentair Whisperflo pump is making a loud screeching noise while running. What could be the problem?

Inside the pump is a set of bearings that help the components of the motor run smoothly. When they become clogged with dirt and debris or wear down, your pool pump may get very noisy or stop working altogether. This high pitched squealing you are hearing is fairly consistent with bearing failure.
t might be best to have the motor seperated from the pump housing and take it to your local pool outlet or motor shop. Installation of the bearings will be a breeze for them and make sure that no damage is done to the shaft of while the new bearings are being installed. At this time, they can also inspect the motor and make sure that there are no other problems with the pool motor.
Also, you should ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS replace the shaft seal whenever you take the pool pump motor apart. This will ensure a positive seal for the motor and minimize the opportunity for leaks to occur.

Replacing the bearings in your pool motor:

1. Turn off power to your pool pump by unplugging it from the power source or by turning off the circuit breaker. 2 Remove the plumbing from the pump. Take off the unions on the suction and discharge side using a wrench. Loosen the pool pump from the fitting holding it to the ground and move it to a comfortable area to work in. 3 Remove the housing from the pool pump and separate it from the motor. Look at the owner's manual for your pump to see the specifics on how to remove the pool pump housing, since each model is different. Usually you will need to loosen a bolt with a socket wrench and loosen the metal band that holds it in place. 4 Remove the four bolts that hold the pump together. These are located on the hand bell of the frame. Remove the motor end bells. 5 Pull out the motor armature to expose the ball bearings. Insert your ball bearing puller to pull out the old ball bearings. Inspect them for damage. Replace the old ball bearings with new ones after greasing them with bearing grease, and reassemble the pump.
To be honest with you, I don't even let our technicians replace the bearings in the field anymore. It is a little difficult and really, how many people have a "ball bearing puller" laying around their house.

*Please note, this should ONLY be attempted if you are comfortable with the instructions and taking apart the pump, have the necessary parts and tools to make the repair, and are familiar with ensuring that everything is back together properly!

Has a high pitch sqeal while running (not during the drain cycle) I've had it all apart, nothing in any hoses or screens. A little coorsion on main pump motor, possible leakage? Maybe enough to make the...

Check motor bearings and replace with identical part and type. Check for water leakage through shaft to the bearings. Replace the oil seals as a full set along with bearing replacement.

Sears table saw model #137221940. need instruction to take motor apart to replace bearings

Page 23 of the manual (link below) shows an exploded view of your saw. This might be of some help to you. But the Sears parts site had no drawings available for the motor (part 940136)
http://www.managemyhome.com/mmh/owner_manuals/search?sid=MMHMxSearsx00019&query=137221940+CRAFTSMAN
If you have never take an motor like this apart, and if it is similar to motors used in belt-driven saws, then it might also be helpful for you to know that the four surprisingly long and skinny bolts that run parallel to the motor shaft do have to be removed, then you can carefully pull the ends off of the motor.
If this has been helpful, please vote.

Makes a strange noise, as if something is rubbing. The dryer works, I took off the bottom front panel, and evrything seems fine, ie the belt looked fine, no debris found.

Most noise complaints from this style dryer comes from the idler pulley and two drum support wheels. The idler pulley just clips into the bottom of the dryer and keeps tension on the drum belt. The drum rollers have clips that must be removed from the shafts before trying to replace them. If one wheel is worn out, replace them both = less problems later on. See "how to take apart" to access the rollers, once the belt is disconnected from the idler pulley and motor pulley, lift out the drum. The roller on the left has a bracket and 2 clips to remove before the roller can be replaced. The right roller has just 1 clip that must be removed to replace the roller. Use a cloth or fine sand cloth to clean up the shafts, use a light oil before installing the new rollers. DO NOT use a heavy grease as this will attract dust and become very dirty and gum up the rollers. Check the belt will you are there and clean out any dust from motor and from the drum base. See how to take apart information. Anew picture of the roller, shaft and clips... you can get the required board and components at ----- www.partselect.com -------- or from ------ www.repairclinic.com ----

if you are not familiar with doing this you can get it done by local appliance repair technician familiar with this model.

I have a Marathon Electric 1-1/2hp pool pump motor with a bad front bearing. Is the motor repairable and if so how do I get it apart?

First go to a motor repair shop or Neely Bearing shop and see if they can get a replacement battery, then post a picture of the motor and I will tell you how to repair or replace the bearing. I need to know the frame type, it's located on the motor tag and is it 110 or 220?
