Shop AC on the blink, it's nearly 100 deg F and 90% plus humidity... Ugh...

Let me tell ya, all I can really do in my shop right now is sweat on my tools, and if you hand't noticed, sweat isn't exactly all that great for cast iron tables or steel surfaces...

This thing has been acting up for a while, but it is now in the territory of throwing the breaker...

It starts off as a little chirp but quickly escalates to a wild vibration / rattling noise and then it throws the breaker.

I ssupect one or more of the bearings is to blame, but I can't be sure until I tear it down and take an in depth look...

The unit is a Royal Sovereign ARP-1400WW

Let me know what you think, and if any of you have any experience tearing down one of these, a little advice on how to get the housing apart would sure be helpful!
