I'm OK with removing it if it's not needed, though. Does it just pry out of there?
WOW, I have never seen a bearing like that installed, but, I admit there's a lot I haven't seen before with these things, LOL. When you took it out, was the shielded side facing into the motor? I just can't figure out how it's getting the supply of oil it needs to lube the bearings. Are there slots in the shield?
