Rocketeer, I read a comment by Andy Tube on one of his YouTube videos on motors about how hard it is to replace that bearing (he said he's never done it himself). So I'm not going to pursue that.
I took one of his big tips and went to the store and bought a hair dryer an hour ago. He uses one to heat up areas that might have dry, hardened oil or grease. I'll try that on the bearing, then he recommends 30 wt auto oil. I'll have to see if I can "borrow" a teaspoon from a neighbor.
And I'm going to get an electrical testing thingie (multimeter) like JoeJr suggested.
