What is claimed is: 1. A method of assembling a compressor, said method comprising: providing a motor having a stator and a rotor; operably coupling a shaft with said rotor; aligning a first bearing support member with said stator by registering at least one first alignment guide with at least one of said first bearing support member and said stator, securing said aligned first bearing support member with said stator wherein said first bearing support member rotatably supports said shaft proximate a first end of said motor; aligning a second bearing support member with said stator by registering at least one second alignment guide with at least one of said second bearing support member and said stator; securing said aligned second bearing support member with said stator wherein said second bearing support member rotatably supports said shaft proximate a second end of said motor opposite said first end; operably engaging a compressor mechanism to said shaft; securing said operably engaged compressor mechanism relative to said motor, said shaft and said first and second bearing support members wherein said motor, said shaft, said first and second bearing support members and said compressor mechanism form a compressor subassembly; inserting said compressor subassembly into a housing; and hermetically sealing said housing after inserting said compressor subassembly therein. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein said first and second alignment guides comprise substantially cylindrical-shaped members and wherein said steps of aligning said first and second bearing support members with said stator includes registering said first alignment guides with openings located on both said stator and said first bearing support member and registering each of said second alignment guides with openings located on both said stator and said second bearing support member. 3. The method of claim 2 wherein said first and second alignment guides define passageways extending through said cylindrical-shaped members and said steps of securing said aligned first and second bearing support members with said stator includes inserting a fastener through said passageways defined by said first and second alignment guides. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein said compressor mechanism includes an orbiting scroll member and a fixed scroll member and wherein said second bearing support includes a thrust surface; said orbiting scroll member operably coupled with said shaft and positioned between said fixed scroll member and said thrust surface. 5. The method of claim 4 wherein said step of securing said compressor mechanism includes securing said fixed scroll to said second bearing support member. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein said step of inserting said compressor subassembly into said housing comprises thermally expanding said housing, inserting said compressor subassembly into said thermally expanded housing and securing said compressor subassembly within said housing by allowing said housing to contract and securely engage said compressor subassembly. 7. The method of claim 6 wherein said housing securely engages outwardly facing surfaces on said first and second bearing support members on said compressor subassembly. 8. The method of claim 1 wherein said first and second alignment guides define passageways extending therethrough and the steps of securing said first and second bearing support members to said stator comprises inserting fasteners through said passageways of said first and second alignment guides. 9.

The method of claim 11 wherein said step of securing said first bearing support member to said stator includes aligning said first bearing support member with said stator in said predefined position by registering at least one first alignment guide with at least one of said first bearing support member and said stator and wherein said step of securing said second bearing support member to said stator includes aligning said second bearing support member with said stator in said predefined position by registering at least one second alignment guide with at least one of said second bearing support member and said stator. 14. The method of claim 13 wherein each of said first and second alignment guides comprise substantially cylindrical-shaped members and wherein said steps of aligning said first and second bearing support members with said stator includes registering each of said first alignment guides with an opening located on said stator and an opening located on said first bearing support member and registering each of said second alignment guides with an opening located on said stator and an opening located on said second bearing support member. 15. The method of claim 14 wherein each of said first and second alignment guides define passageways extending through said cylindrical-shaped members and said steps of securing said aligned first and second bearing supports with said stator includes inserting a fastener through each of said passageways defined by said first and second alignment guides. 16. A method of assembling a hermetic compressor assembly, comprising: forming a first pair of pilot openings in a first pair of mating surfaces of a crankcase and a motor stator; forming a second pair of pilot openings in a first pair of mating surfaces of the stator and a bearing support member; inserting a first alignment guide into a first pilot opening of the first pair of pilot openings; moving the crankcase and the stator into proximity with each other and seating the first alignment guide into a second pilot opening of the first pair of pilot openings to align the crankcase and the stator; inserting a second alignment guide into a first pilot opening of the second pair of pilot openings; moving the stator and the bearing support member into proximity with each other and seating the second alignment guide into a second pilot opening of the second pair of pilot openings to align the stator and the bearing support member; and securing the stator to the crankcase and the bearing support member to the stator to form a subassembly wherein the crankcase, stator and bearing support member are maintained in alignment with each other. 17.
