Stuck shafts are probably my most hated problem. The super stubborn ones I now use a metal punch and hammer and beat it out of the hub. Works like a charm.
I use a 11/32" deep socket with a 3/8" chuck for motors for that reason. I carry 11/32, 3/8, 1/2, 9/16 I carry them in a coin bag and carry them in my pocket for quick accessibility just a little tip bit from cali. Love your channel your my favorite you tuber I learn alot from u
Seriously, those Rheem systems with Bristol compressors were the pinnacle of engineering. Rheem made those condensing units and 100% stainless hot water tanks. Nearly killed the company. But a joy to work on.
You can use your pump down tool(service wrench) for those set screws on those shafts. In my opinion it makes life easier and you don’t slam your knuckles as much when using that vs adjustable wrench.
next time lucy goosie first,then cut the shaft.nice vid see you tomorrow.the 1/6 from tradepro are shorter they use to be 42 now they are not on special.
And customers don’t seem to care - it’s not worth the effort to tell them. They pay no attention to quality of work, until something bad happens. The only incentive to do it right is personal pride in your work.
Curtis I have a question. How do you know what size motor you can substitute for another motor? For example if you have a 1/4 hp motor, can I substitute that with a different horsepower? Or if I have a 1/3 horsepower motor can I substitute that with a different horsepower motor? How do I know what I'm allowed to and what I'm not allowed to use in substitute of a different horsepower motor?
For any replacement motor you could go up a 1/4 of a hp (ex. 1/4hp to 1/3hp) do not go up a whole 1/2hp of the original motor. Unless it’s a tiny motor like a 1/8hp motor but also remember to get the rpm’s right on the condenser fan motors. If you put a motor with the wrong rpm’s it won’t cool properly
I love those old rheem units. So easy to work on
Built like tanks. I think they were one of the best condensing units made, super reliable.

I’ve installed many of them. At the time they also sold cubes. But, I just loved those rectangles
When the nut gets stuck in the driver just hand thread it back on the rod 1-2 turns pull nut driver then unscrew nut with finders
another classic motor change out ...
Why did you cut off the ground wire from the new motor?
I bought my klein hollow shaft 11/32 on Amazon.
Great video!

Good idea
Thanks again for the videos!

Nice work
I have an 11/32 in my bag just like that for the same reason.

You sure do have a lot of run cap bandits in your area.

Screw the nut back on the bolt just a little and unthread with your fingers.
👍

You’re awesome
Those tall motors don't allow the blades to sit in the shroud.
He should of corrected that.
why pull off deck and not guard?
do you have to remove those plugs on that motor?
Just make sure they’re out of the bottom and in the top. Sometimes you have to move them.
Always use a fan blade puller. NO banging! Buy the metal one, not aluminum.
