Removing the Bearings
1. Place the wedge attachment tool (Club Car Part No. 1012812) between the bearing and the armature.
Make sure the wedge attachment tool is supporting the inner race of the bearing but is not contacting
the armature shaft. If a press is not available, secure a bearing puller (Club Car Part No. 1012811) to
the wedge attachment tool and pull the bearing off of the end of the armature shaft. Support the arma-
ture so that it will not drop when the bearing is removed (Figure 12-44).
2. Discard the bearings.
3. Slide the bearing retainer (32) off of the output end of the shaft (Figure 12-42, Page 111).
Removing the Field Coils
1. Remove the retaining nut from each field coil terminal and slide the insulator out of the slots in the
housing. Remove the four pole piece screws from the housing. Remove the four pole pieces from
inside the housing. Remove the field coils from the inside of the housing (Figure 12-45). See NOTE
below.
Visual Inspection of Armature
Obvious defects can be seen by examining the armature. If an armature has frayed or charred insulation,
broken wires or thrown solder, it is obvious without testing that it should be replaced. Faults seen during the
visual inspection can aid in diagnosing the original cause of the failure. Items to look for are listed below.
• Burned, charred, or cracked insulation.
• Improperly cured varnish.
• Thrown solder.
• DO NOT TIGHTEN THE BEARING PULLER WEDGE ATTACHMENT AGAINST THE ARMATURE
SHAFT. THE SHAFT COULD BE DAMAGED WHEN PRESSING THE BEARING OFF.
• DO NOT REMOVE THE INSULATORS OR THE FIELD COILS UNLESS ELECTRICAL TEST INDI-
CATES THAT IT IS NECESSARY (FIGURE 12-45). SEE TEST PROCEDURE NO. 7, PAGE 99.
