Remove the motor from the pump. Unscrew the 4 through bolts located at rear of motor. Tunr the 1/4" hex screw located at the front of the motor next to the shaft 1/4 turn counter clockwise.
Tap the front housing until it is removed (may need a bearing puller to remove it. Once this is removed, use a bearing puller to remove the bearing. Next, use 12" long piece or 3/4" metal electrical conduit to tap the new bearing into place making sure that the conduit is only coming in contact with the RACE of the bearing (the inner most track).

Reassemble.

Note: A molded bearing puller is needed fot this job. A formed puller will just bend/break.
It would cost less money to pay $75 to have this done by a proffesional rather than buying a $100-$200 tool just to try to do it yourself.

How do I change the front and back bearings in this pool pump motor 1hp. ao smith motot I did the shaft seal last year myself but needs bearings now. thank,Bill

Usually - depends on the type of wire originally installed. Almost all of it is going to be rated 300V or more and if yours is then yes, change the breaker to a 2-pole and swap out any other devices in the circuit to be rated 230 and change the voltage selector on the pump motor to 230 and you are good to go. Examine the markings on your wire insulation to find the voltage ratings.

Yes this is an old thread but info is still helpful to those that are searching. Here is one diagram from a 3/4 motor. Be aware that most residential high voltage are 240v. This will have the motor turning a bit faster.

The values are stamped on the old capacitors. If you haven't got them, I would contact the manufacturers authorised agent for advice.

remove bump on motor and take picture of wiring before removing get numbers off try electrical supply

Try priming it water at the filter. Make sure that the filter o ring is sealing under the cap. Make sure there is enough water in the pool to enter the suction line and that it is not restricted.
