Hi, can anyone tell me how to replace the ball bearing in an e140 electric chainsaw? This is the bearing for the armature on the clutch end, housed in the gear housing moulding. In my first attached photo the housing is quite flat and no way of removing the bearing. In my other photo the housing bulges out around the bearing and looks as if it might just be removable but how? There hardly seems to be a parting line at the base of the bulge. Any suggestions gratefully received.
