Bosch WFL2000uk motor

[dwc]

Hi, Is it possible to buy just the armature for a Bosch WFL2000uk motor or would I need to buy the motor complete. The problem I have is I was renewing the bearing at the pulley end and I cant pull it off because the pulley is so tight on the shaft. I heated the pulley up but still no luck. Is it possible to buy a new pulley as I could cut the old one off then I could fit the new bearing.

Can you get a recon motor as a new one is about £160

Arr… you used to be able to. Last person doing it up here that I knew of was in Featherstone – John Bunting, IIRC. Otherwise, I can’t really advise – can’t even find his phone number.

It is basically a mechanical problem. The pulley was “sweated” on, so the answer is probably heat. Perhaps a local engineering shop might be the easiest solution.

I used to do this regularly on the old AEG motors, using a 30 tonne gear puller. Even with that, you had to occasionally leave it under load, go and have dinner, then come back and scientifically tap the puller before the d@mn thing would break free. Never succeeded with a Bosch one yet. 🙁

Good luck,

I took it down to a mate in a garage and he heated the pulley up till it was red hot and its still stuck on. I think I’m heading for a new machine I will buy a Bosch again as we have had it years and the only thing I have replaced was the brushes.
