Step 8: Install (3x) M3 Screws into the Back of the Motor Chamber
Use a T-10 star drive to reinstall the (3x) M3 screws that were removed in step 1, securing the front end
cap to the rest of the motor assembly.
The M3 screws will be attracted to the side of the motor, making it difficult to thread them into the front end
cap. Here's a tip to make this easier:
1. Push the (3x) M3 screws all the way through the housing.
2. Then line up an M3 screw with the corresponding M3 tapped hole on the front end cap.
3. Thread the M3 screw into the front end cap just 1-2 threads.
4. Repeat #2 and #3 until all three M3 screws a threaded into the end cap.
5. Push the front end cap so it's seated on the housing.
6. Tighten the (3x) M3 screws.
NOTE:
After putting the Falcon 500 back together, check to make sure the shaft spins free by hand. If you feel any
binding, the front end cap may not be properly aligned with the shaft or the motor chamber sleeve.
