the side where the drive motor was mounted.
3. Remove the four screws (a) securing the exciter-motor-side drum support (b)
and remove the drum support.
4. Mark (c) the bearing cover (d) for ease of re-installation.

pull the bearing cover from the drum.
6. Remove the snap ring (e).
7. Temporarily reattach the drum support (f) to the drum. Then, using an
