Large 900 lb Flywheel bearing replacement

In this video we replace the bearings on this flywheel for the 1960s breakpress in our shop. The large flywheel weighs about 900lbs and has 2 bearings, and inner and outer bearing. We used a custom puller/pusher to remove the flywheel. We wanted to put this video out there because there wasn't alot of info on other people doing the same type of work and hopefully this can be helpful to others. The total cost of this was about $800. There is soo much more information gathered and learned along the way that we couldn't put in the video. Please let us know if you have any questions and we will do our best to respond and help.
