Flux HP Tork motor bearings?

Can someone from Castle give me some input on this please? I also for the life of me cannot get the rear bearing out, I've already stripped one of the small dwinky hex nuts trying to remove the endbell but to no avail

Umm, usually the rear bearing never needs replacement. The rear bearing has very little load - - the front bearing is usually the only bearing that needs to be replaced.

So why are you trying to get the rear bearing out?

Thanx!

Well, I managed to bang out the rear bearing at last but it also felt gritty when I rotated it around. Figuring it wasn't worth frying the motor over, I finally managed to figure out what bearing it is, a 650ZZ and ordered replacements from AVID, cheapest I could find.

What I would suggest is a 650ZZ bearing from Minibea (NMB) -- get one of the high RPM versions.

Who retails them in the US? Any online shops?
