Hello All,

I wonder if someone can help me with advice on the repair of a
Black&Decker GA100 Garden Shredder?

The top bearing in the electric motor has broken and needs replacing.
It would appear that some spares are still available in the UK. I have
removed the motor from the shredder, but can't work out how to remove
the top bearing.

I have got as far as removing the motor assembly from the main housing
but now I'm stuck. I assume that I need to remove the pulley from the
top of the armature first in order to replace the bearing, but how is
the pulley attached and what do I need to do to remove it?

Any advice on taking this thing apart so I can refurbish it would be
much appreciated.

If there is no visible means of securing the pulley to the shaft, like a
grub screw, then it will almost certainly have been fitted by a hydraulic
press, and you will need a puller to get it off, just like you will need a
puller to remove the bearing from its housing. These may or may not be the
same puller.

I'm not familiar with the GA 100, these are general principles.
