NOTICE
Never reuse shaft seals that have been in operation. Refer to “Rotor Shaft Seals,” page 29.
8. Remove the discharge end carrier cover, oil slinger, clamp plate, bearing locknut and bearing
clamp plates. See (FIGURE 6-8).
9. Rig the plate (shown in FIGURE 6-2, page 36) and the puller shown in (FIGURE 6-9) and press
the rotor shaft through the bearings. Use a shaft protector. Be sure the bolts holding the plate
are threaded into the tapped holes of the bearing housing far enough to prevent stripping of the
threads, and evenly adjust so the plate is square with the shaft. Press one rotor through the
bearing at a time, then proceed to Step 10. Repeat Steps 9 and 10 on the second rotor.
10. When the rotor shaft is free of bearings, work the rotor through the housing and rig a sling to
complete removal of the rotor from the housing, (FIGURE 6-10. page 39). Handle with care to
prevent burrs on rotors and housing.
11. After removal of the rotors, rearrange blocking so the discharge end bearing carrier hangs free.
Remove all screws and jack the carrier evenly from the dowel pins, FIGURE 6-11, page 39).
Support the carrier as it is removed.
