I finally got some time to take apary my belt sander and drummel tool. Both have bearing issues. Saw dust and drywall dust in the bearings. Was able to get the bearings off the armature and plan to go to town tomorrow to buy new ones. Go figure, the bearing that went out was next to the fan on the armature.
The sander is a good 20 years old, however the drummel tool didn't last one drywall job.
I know there is nothing worst than drywall dust on a sealed bearing. Does anyone have a method to keep the dust from distroying a new sealed bearing? Was thinking of putting grease on the outside of the bearing.
To clean up my last drywall mess I used powerful fans and blew the dust out the door. Opened the windows, put one fan at the door and used the other to blow the mess to the fan at the door. It looked like it was snowing. Didn't damage my shop vac that way. I wore a mask to keep the dust out of my lungs.
If I can't purchase new bearings, thinking of taking a small drill bit and drilling a hole in both sides of the seal and try to clean the bearing with WD40 and then pack it with white lub. What can it hurt, it is already damaged? Does anyone have a better idea?

At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
