REASSEMBLY NOTE: When you reinstall
the drive motor rotor over the stator assembly,
do not grip the rotor housing around the rear
edge with your fingers. The magnets around
the rotor housing are very strong, and they
will pull the rotor into the stator coil magnets
when the rotor magnets come within their
magnetic field. Keep your fingers along the
outside of the rotor housing and away from
the rear edge when you are installing it on the
stator assembly.
