The bearing where noisy and I could place my hand on the encoder and feel a roughness. The bearing were installed from the factory with some form of loctite. I had preload on the puller and I was warming the shaft with a heat gun to release the loctite. It let go with a "pop'. The puller must have hit the glass scale. It got shattered.
I am going to use the existing encoder shaft bearing housing and mount to drive the new encoder.
Killed my encoder today :(

I wonder if the bore was a sloppy fit for the bearings. Normally if they are a light press fit they are good to go....

See what you guys thing of this.
I moved the coupler around the shaft trying different positions and .004 was about the best I could get.
