    • 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.
