As some of you know from an earlier question, I'm having to replace the arbor bracket, arbor and bearings on my 30 year old Unisaw. It was suggested that I replace the motor bearings also while I was this deep into the saw. Sounds like a good idea. I've done a little research and it seems like a simple enough job if I'm careful and don't pinch any wires. One comment I read concerns me though. It had to do with discharging the capacitor. Is this necessary? It's a 3 hp rockwell motor with one capacitor and hasn't be run for about 5 days. I build houses, but this is really out of my league. Any advice or tips would be really appreciated. Thanks to all. Jim
