This shows how to disassemble a 20" or 15" planer head for repair and bearing replacement. It is applicable to major brands like Jet, Grizzly and Powermatic.
Thanks for posting this, it was exactly what I needed. Did you replace the bearing on the side opposite the gearbox as well? How did you pop that bearing out?
How do you replace the opposite side? When I tapped out the planer head the bearing came with it and I’m not sure if it’s supposed to go back in the planet or on the planet head! Help! Please!
this was extremely helpful. thanks !!
Thank you! This will help my disassembly go a ton faster!
Thank you for posting this! I needed some guidance to tackle this thing. The Gearbox gasket must have been in good enough shape to reuse?

You should just be able to use a large socket and tap with a hammer to pop it out depending how "in there" it is. I used that method.
