Water pressure booster pump won't start consistently - do you rebuild the bearings?

No bearings in the actual pump. They rely on the motor's bearings.
The motor will likely have two standard bearings.
I won't know what to buy until I take the motor apart, but the downtime is
crucial because there won't be water pressure in the house.
I tried to find a parts diagram on the web for the model but I can't find
one yet.

I will call GE tomorrow, where I'm not beholden to GE but if I replace the
bearings, I need to know ahead of time which ones to order.
The real problem first is that I don't know what's wrong, because it's
clearly intermittent.
What's irksome is that I don't understand the sensing pressure mechanism.
It seems to be MISSING a sensing of the OUTPUT pressure at the bladder.
