I need to take the motor off. I took out 3 small bolts around the top and a 1/2 bolt at the bottom. Is that all that needs to be removed prior to removing the motor? What's the trick to getting the motor off? |

Re: Motor recommendations
Welcome to the "My &@#% Motor Won't Come Off" club.
CC motor armatures like to rust to the input shatf of the rear end, pull hard enough and you'll slide the outer part of the motor right off the armature. (Not a big deal, just time consuming to put back together since the brushes spring inward when the armature comes out, preventing simple reverse installation of the armature.) Here's the best way I've found to do it. First, remove the rear end from the cart. Second, take off the wheels and tires and bolt the passenger side brake drum on backwards to protect the studs. Third, stand the rear end up on the passenger side, the armature should be hanging down - apply either heat or mass quantities of PB Blaster (or both if youre careful) to the shaft where the armature meets it. Fourth, pick it up about a foot and let it slam down - after a few blows the armature should fall off. (Keep trying if not, it took me a little bit) Have something soft or someone ready to catch it. This is info from TahoeDawgZ71, and this method has worked for me more than once. |

Re: Motor recommendations
Don't know if anyone will see this before I get the armature loose, but where do I apply the lubricant and heat? See photo.

Re: Motor recommendations
Decided the heat needed to be applied on end closest to seal. Did 3 times but not over about 45sec. Didn't want to damage seal. Dropped 100 times, still stuck!

Re: Motor recommendations
Did you use the PB Blaster? or equivalent.

Re: Motor recommendations
WD40 is not a lubricant. I used it on a large bolt one time and it seized it tight. I had to get a 2 foot long wrench to turn it again. Your not doing anything to cushion the blow are you?

Re: Motor recommendations
No, was using a 6"x 6", then switched to a 2x6 thinking it may absorb less shock. It's becoming wood chips now. Standing on paint cans to get a little height. Probably not going to try much more today until I get the PB Blaster. This has been incredible trying to get it off. Just making sure, there isn't a clip or something that locks it on?
