Fixed. This new site format is glitchy.

Any idea on what the weights were on the parts you removed?

Economizer 840#
Suction elbow 700#
1st vane assy. 400#
Suction cover 1700#
Inter-stage 2000#
Also a couple of smaller items between 50# and 200#

I've never seen that bearing bracket removed while the motor is still mounted to the discharge volute. Do you plan to replace the motor-to-volute o-ring? How about the discharge volute-to-condensor o-ring? Appreciate the pics. Very nice equipment room... once you get past the chilled water lines above the starter.

It is a lot easier to do that front bearing bracket with the thrust bearings removed, or at the very least, with the thrust bearing support removed. It is even easier still to do it all with the motor sitting on a cart on the ground.
It is a nice, well lit mechanical room with a lot of clearance and room to work without interference. The guys and gals at this site work very hard to keep everything in good order.

So do u use a second chain fall for the shaft to pull the bearing off,(I am assuming)
To pull off the seal (journal) I only see one.

Yes. First chain is to lift the shaft enough so you can remove the bearing support. Once you get it out far enough, you put the dial back on the shaft and put a chain behind the bearing support. Transferring the weight of the shaft from one chain to the other is the trickiest part of the whole job.

Very cool. Those of us DX guys dont get to see too many of these...disassembled anyway!
Any ideas as to the cause of bearing failure? Oil system blunder?
Thanks for sharing and keep em comin!
