    Replace Bearings Hityachi M12CV

    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

    (Note the model number referenced on that page does not include the "CV" suffix you mentioned.)

    Re: Replace Bearings Hityachi M12CV

    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
