Hello All, Can someone please tell me how to remove this Arbor so I can paint and change bearings? If anyone can give guidance on bearing change, that would be awesome too! Thanks!!

I don't have your machine, but removal and replacement of bearings is not rock science, and seldom comes with instructions other than don't bend it and don't break it. My addition would be don't replace them unless you know you need to. You normally remove all (both) bearings off of the same end of the shaft. They invariably are tight so polishing the shaft you are trying to slide them off of is essential. Use a bit of penetrating oil to presoak them, and yes you will probably need a bearing/pulley puller and it will probably not be long enough to get to where you bearing is. If possible you want to exert force on both sides of bearing at the same time. If necessary, go down to your local Napa store and borrow a big puller from them. Or the easier route is to take the shaft, bearings, and all to a local machine shop after you have removed it from the machine and have them press them on and off for you. Its important that you put them back on the shaft in the same position from which you removed them so other things line up in the end. Usually you won't use a hammer but if you do, do so judiciously and nondestructively. I hope this helps. Clearly you were looking for encouragement.
