Hi Forum, Looking for help in how to do this. There are many videos on replacing the coupling but not so much for the mounts. The old mount rings look to be pressure fit on the motor and I’m not sure the best way to get them off without damaging the motor (or myself). I’m also worried about how to get the new ones on safely. The idea of whomping my motor with a big hammer is scary.
I’ve seen that some replacement motor mounts are sold as the rubber part only with the instructions to glue the new rubber to the original metal rings. But my replacements already have the rings and if there is a safe way to remove the original rings then I’d rather do that then try and get the new rings off the new rubber without damage and the trust my glue job to put them on the old rings.
Thanks!
Really not much to it. I use a large flat blade screwdriver and work them off a little bit at a time

Who sells just the rubber?
Thanks Tony - i can’t find the link now, but when searching for help on this I found at least a couple places that did sell just the rubber. I know one was on eBay.
Ok, I’ll keep trying - mine must be really stuck cause I was not getting a budge with the screwdriver technique.
How about getting the new ones on? Any tricks you use?
Thanks, -steve.
