i ordered a front plate bearing for a 516.when i tried to install it it would not slide over the armature shaft.i was puzzled.i finally gave up & removed the bearing from the plate & discovered a small ring in front of the housing. the diameter was too small to let it slide on the armature shaft.i removed it & now it fits fine.anyone ever run into this problem ?
