My 1957 FE35's generators ballbearings broke down the other day , resulting in a complete lockup and a strong smell of burned rubber from the fan-belt.

I have now dismantled it (lucas-generator), but is stuck with the problem of getting the ballbearing out.
I have drilled out the four rivets to the housing and revealed a rusty old ballbearing.

..But how do i get it out? Should I simply whack the shaft with all my might, or is there a more gentle way?

In the other end of the generator is a thick hollow brass screw containing a spring and some foam rubber. Probably for oiling the shaft, but which oiltype should I use?

I hope my problem will trigger some of the wast knowledge in this forum.

thanks in advance.

Could you explain a bit more where the bearing is? Usually they are stuck in the end cap of the generator but you are mentioning about whacking the shaft...
If the bearing is on the shaft of the armature I would suggest applying penetrating oil, heat, heat, heat, and a puller to the bearing. You want to avoid bending or otherwise damaging the armature, or you're into $$$.
Or if you mean the end cap is still connected to the armature by way of the rusty stuck bearing, then you really need to be careful as it is easy to damage the end cap. In this case I would take the time to make a very good wooden support for the end cap, and with the armature hanging down, (apply penetrating oil and) tap on the bearing working your way around it as you go, to get the works out from the end cap. Then you're back to getting the bearing off the armature, but that should be the easier job. For lubrication use very light oil like 3-in-1 sewing machine oil.
Hope this is understandable.

Thank you for your answer Jim!

The armature is stille attached to the end cap by way of the Ballbearing which is rustet into the endcap. (your second description)

Not being a smart a.. . Take it to an auto electric shop before you ruin it completely. Sometimes others are better equipped than us.

Ok I succeeded in replacing the bearing. I found that the type No. on the bearing translated directly to the system of standard bearings you can buy today. For future references it was a type 6202-2z bearing.
The generator is put to gether and runs fine today.
Sometimes I guess "what have been assembled by humans, can be dismantled by humans" :)
