I have a number of ceiling fans I'd like to replace the bearings in.. I attempted it once on a Caribbean Breeze spinner,, I was able to split open the motor and get to the bearings,, but the bearings were rusted on and I couldn't remove them..
Does anyone have any advise or experience in replacing bearings? Where to buy replacements? etc?..

Maybe you can just try to split the Caribbean Breeze bearings in half and remove it that way. Dan had to do that at least once on K55-type motor.

I think your Caribbean Breeze has the howling noise, which means there's external dirt, dust and gunk in them.. They need to be replaced..

The Cariibean Breeze bearings are rusted through--there's no hope of salvaging those..
I got a Sears GE vent not too long ago which unfortunately makes the same sound.. Among a few others.. I am looking into replacing them..

Yes rust will cause that too.. You still have the option to replace them... Bearings run between $10 - $20 a bearing and sometimes even a bit more..

Yikes.. That's a fair bit more than I was expecting..

I've been working on a Quorum GE vent fan to install in my sister's room. I tried the WD-40 and Zoom Spout technique and the bearings are still noisy. Is it even possible to replace the bearings or will I have to do a motor transplant?

It's supposed to be possible,, but so far I haven't been able to get the bearings off..I may end up having to just part it out or do a motor transplant. My sister doesn't even want it anymore but I already spent a ton of money and time fixing it up. |

He already tried using a bearing puller with no luck. The only solution at this point would probably be to cut the bearings in half.

in worst cases with bearings, i end up severely cleaning it with WD40 then after the whole cleaning, i add lithium based grease all around it and pressured inside to bring any additional dirt out
