How to fix a broken air compressor

Thanks to my new Baldor 5 HP Motor I should have the Airboy up and running. Changing the motor on your air compressor is a simple DIY job most anyone can tackle. This video will show you the proper steps and provide a few helpful tips along the way.

Another way to loosen a stuck bolt is to try to tighten it a little the loosen up...

Was it the bearing or the brushes... Those are cheap... Like $25, and a new motor $200+... You look like you have enough tools to take apart that old motor, nuggets be a good idea to open it up and look inside to see what the issue might have been so next time you save some green backs lol

Very nice motor, much better than the one that came on it! I always replace motors I have to with ones that are rated for continuous duty cycle, which it appears you do too from the tag I saw. Its worth the extra cost IMHO

Looking forward to your air hose routing video you referred to in this vid. Interested in what you are using as that is my next garage project. Keep them coming.  Best wishes.

Your brain is your safety cage! Love It! A long time ago I had a customer buy a electric dryer from me. He said he'd take care of the install. No problem we loaded him up. Well, he forgot to unplug the pigtail before disconnecting it from the old dryer. Epic 'Safety Cage Failure.' It was lights out for him and a lawyer probably got a new warning label to come up with!
