    • Use an impact driver to remove the 17 mm nut securing the rotor.

    • Alternatively, you can use a wrench and a hammer to loosen the nut.

    • To secure the rotor, you can insert a screwdriver, or a similar tool, between the rotor and the stator. Make sure to brace the tool against one of the screw bosses on the stator.

    • The rotor is magnetically attracted to the stator.

    • Pull the rotor straight off the stator and drive shaft splines to remove it.

    • Wiggle the rotor as you pull to help disconnect it.

    • This may require significant force.

    • During reassembly, watch your fingers when aligning the rotor over the stator, as the rotor gets sucked in easily.

    • Hold the stator up as you unfasten the last few bolts, as it can fall over unexpectedly.

    • Use a 10 mm socket wrench to remove the six 68 mm-long bolts securing the stator.

    • During reassembly, refasten the screws in a "star" pattern.

    • Don't pull the stator too far away from the device, as it's still connected by wires.

    • Pull the stator off of the drum and flip it so its rear is facing upward.

    • Note the position of the stator before continuing, as you will need it face the proper direction during reassembly.
