I need to replace the bearings on my Hitachi M12CV router. i have it stripped it down to where I have removed the left hand top nut and attached magnet.
All the screws are out and i hesitate to put any uneducated force on the remaining assembly.
Hope someone that has experience in this area can help.
Thanks

Thanks RS I found those instructions too, where I’m having trouble is separating the darker gray part where the brushes are mounted from the round aluminum lower body of the router. I have removed all the screws from the top of the brush assembly and the left hand nut with the round magnet attached to it.
I don’t see anything else causing the two sections to stick together other than the friction between the two sections.
My thought is to make a couple of half round pieces of wood that closely fits the round aluminum body and clamp it lightly in the vice and use a hardwood and hammer to see if I can drive the darker brush holder assemble off. What do you think of that approach?
I have two hitachi M 12 VC routers and changed the bearings in the other one a few years ago and don’t recall the difficulty in separating these two pieces on it then.
Thanks
