Motor Removal

Sunday, July 27th

Today!

Sorry I have not started a blog regarding this yet.. but here it is!

Also, this motor was not very difficult to remove..
4 bolts to the tranny, two up top had nuts facing towards me, vice versa on bottom..

Used the jack for the first time, was able to successfully remove the motor, while almost dying only once..

Before

Two jack stands was a good idea.. to start with..

After a bit of fiddling it came down and evolved to this..



And after almost dying, once.. I got it out!


Look, I can see the floor!


And back up to my kitchen area so I can disassemble it and and see what needs rebuilding. The bearings feel real smooth (what can you expect, only 1350 miles on it) but the commutator and brushes are worrisome, if stationary for too long.

I thought I would take a shot with the charger, so you could get an idea of how big the charger was as well..
