I agree with leaving it as is, especially with the bearings !

Face the facts, if a running motor is relying in its coated bearings to stay alive then that time span of staying alive is going to be short anyway!

eventually that coating gets worn thru and your done but you don’t know it until bearing clearance noises and loss of performance takes place.
