can't get precedent motor out.

[smokey tennis shoe]

I am trying to remove the motor from a precedent, so I can have it rebuilt. 2007 precedent.

I have the wires disconnected, and all 3 bolts removed, and speed sensor unplugged. But I cannot get this motor to wiggle loose.

I gently pryed with 2 screwdrivers, but I don't want to mess up the lip.

It feels like whatever holding it is in the middle, probably the shaft. Tonite I sprayed some pb blaster along the seam where the motor butts up, hoping in the morning it will help.

I need suggestions?????


Thanks in advance

Is nothing more than a splined slip fit... Probably rusted into place... All You can do is force it off with a couple of pry bars; if you can get is back a little to expose the spline you might be able to spray in some PB Blaster at it...

There are four bolts. Three long bolts that go through the gear housing into the motor and one short one that goes through an L bracket on the motor into the gear housing. The short one is around towards the bottom of the motor.

My 2011 only has the 3 bolts, no L bracket to speak of...
