Not only that, there's the satisfaction that comes from, Hey! I fixed
it.

OP here ...
That is indeed the thing, satisfaction of fixing a problem.

NOTE: I had found a "plan" for an aircleaner on the web, just a box
with a squirrelcage fan in it and a way to hold furnace-type filters
in place (2 filters 18x24" on each side of the box). I bought the
motor off ebay in 2004. It was surprisingly big ...

I have run the motor at times consinuously for days or weeks. I got
my money's worth.


I've been known to replace things, then go about attempting to fix the
original. This lets me work at my own pace and be quite a bit more
daring than I would if I needed the item. Sometimes it works, other
times I wind up doing a post-mortem.

This is close to a postmortem. I took things apart until I had the motor
free from its brackets and housing. Now I have no idea of how to get at
the bearings, other than by going out and getting some gadget to pull the
bearings off. More useless details in my answer to anon.
