All electric motors have easily changed bearings? Think you need to get

Tripe! Bearings on large auto electric motors can be quicke replace
units.


Proof, please. And I'd hope, given just how new most electric cars are,
bearing replacement would not be a common thing.


Its not easy even on poxy little motors. Its about the same as a wheel
bearing change - need to pull or drive the race housings out of the
casing and that means a near total strip down.

You missed the fact that bearing failure is most unusual on a modern
engine?


It isn't. Also they loosen off and become noisy and create vibration.


You must move on from that Model Y Ford...
