At this facility, our SAF unit was used for approximately 1.5 years before being replaced for the first time.
According to the maintenance team, they simply loosened the cap bolts until they heard a “pop” from the adapter, and the bearing came right off the shaft.

Previously, removal required 2–3 people, along with cutting using a grinder or torch. This also required a hot work permit from the safety department and a fire watch (a fire spotter who monitors for sparks and fire hazards) to remain on-site for several hours.
Eliminating this process was highly appreciated by the customer.

This represents a major improvement in safety, time, and labor.
