Anything will break if you drive it wrong enough.

Alright gents, I got the motor out last night, and everything was ship shape. Hardly any contamination, and just a single drop of oil on each bearing before reassembling. I tried to remove them, but gave up because it seemed more difficult then it was worth. Even the one on the pinion shaft side didn't want to budge, and I wasn't in the mood to start pounding a good bearing. The hole in the back of the motor seems like the only way that one will come out, and the front one will have to be punched out once it's pooched. Wish I could have been of more help, but I just couldn't risk damaging good bearings. I used a little electrical parts cleaning spray to clean a some dirt that had accumulated on the rotor and magnets.

Yeah the front bearing is much easier than the rear, but the rear isn't too hard.

Wow. Mine was far from being that clean.
Do you run in dirt at all? do you do anything special to seal the motor?

If your talking about mine, I run it through snow, slush, water, dirt and mud. What really helps is the panty hose custom cover I made.

I ordered the wrong bearings for my Granite Mega 4x4. Amain sent me the 2wd bearings instead. Can I still use these bearings and what bearings am I missing with these?
I watched a YouTube channel called AVE. He showed a trick to get bearings out of blind holes. You'd have to see the vid, but he greased fine strips of cotton and stuffed them in the centre of the bearing, then used a close fitting punch to drive it down in the bearing center. The cotton squeezes under the back of the bearing and forces it up out of the blind hole.
