MEP-017A Diode part number?

Yeah, I tried all those part numbers and they just seem to lead back to themselves. I was hoping to find a more readily available standard part. Looks like a regular diode.

Most diodes have a generic number that starts with a 1N or a 2N. For instance, I recently replaced the 1N4722 diode on the flashing circuitry of my 002A because I was getting sporadic lack of flashing and the diode body was cracked. I had no problem finding a replacement based on the numbers on the diode itself. Presumably, your diode should be similarly marked.

Thanks, Jim. That is what I was looking for. I don't think the ones in this head are legible. I know there must be easy to find equivalents. I just didn't know if they were forward or reverse biased. I want to go ahead and replace all three while I have it apart.
I got 5 new surplus Baldor motor spec bearings on ebay for $15 delivered. What does the little clip on the bearing do? I haven't pressed the old bearing out, yet. Is there any trick to it or does it just press out like any other bearing?
Thanks.
