Very important to add oil to the bearing assembly. I’ve replaced the coupler and thought the bearing assembly was going bad since the shaft rattles and when turned on with the new coupler and motor mounts , there was still a very loud noise. I was just about to buy a new bearing assembly because the bearing shaft wiggling and very loud. As soon as I added oil to the flapper on the bearing assembly. The noise went away and Bearing assembly was running smooth! Lubricate and save money !
My motor is shot on my B&G series 100 pump. I tried hooking it up to directly to power with an extension cord. No luck. Question for you: Since my couplers are not damaged and the bearing assembly shaft can be rotated manually with my fingers, am I correct in thinking I can get away with only replacing the motor on this?
I've watched a few of these coupler replacement videos and no one has ever mentioned the issue of clock-wise and counter clock-wise couplers,. My pump is counter clock-wise. Have you ran into an issue where you needed the clock-wise coupler?
I had a horrible sound from the basement and found that the couplers are definitely broken from shining light in there. How do I know what caused this? I can easily replace these along with the motor mounts, but could there be another issue that caused this failure, like the bearing assembly or something else in the motor? Please help if you get a chance!
The biggest reason for coupling failure is motor mounts sagging. Change them and use a Spiralink coupler. Make sure the bearing assembly turns freely. oil it.
You didn't even set it the right way, look at the video and hopefully you will be able to see what You did wrong. I decided to look at the video to see if I could learn something and I ended up learning what not to do...
It appears to be a counter clock-wise coupler... To me he appeared to rotate the motor clock-wise to line up the bolt holes.... Could he have possibly crossed the coupling springs over themselves? That was a question I was looking for when I came across this post.
Watched video again. Yea, when he took it apart inlet and outlet was orientated vertically ... installed impeller housing to a horizontal orientation . My housing is in fact orientated horizontally.
@@uhuffman For teaching purposes, I believe He should have explained that there are two positions on changing the bearing assembly, I do plumbing and heating and so far I haven't seen or change a circulator pump that's on the horizontal position, I just think he should have put it back together exactly the way it was, most people when they looked for a video like this, it's because they need some guidance and they would probably follow step by step what the expert is doing and setting the circulator pump on the wrong position, having the oil spill out....

@@mrpump1733 Thank you for replying. Once I replaced the couplings and oiled it again, it ran very smoothly. Working better than ever. Thank you!
Ten drops of oil. Over oiling can cause problems too
What about replacing the bearing ass'y WITHOUT spending all that dough for the bearing/housing ass'y???
What causes the motor to keep running after the boiler is off
It keeps the water circulating. The water is still hot and needs to carry the heat through the house even when the boiler is off.
Just a quick hint,,,,,,,,,,,, Your script (text) covers up a lot of you working on the pump.
I think that's on your end. The close captioning is something you can turn off and isn't controlled by the video creator I believe
Horrible camera angles sorry can’t see anything going on up close. Other than that, decent video

@@nickrami7131 I agree ! My series 100 in my house is horizontal.
