(a) Follow procedures for Removal of Outer Basket From Cabinet. (Refer to Section 9.15).
(b) Lay the outer basket on its side before removal of the shaft. This ensures that the shaft does
not fall directly onto the floor.
Note: The shaft can only be removed towards the inside of the outer basket. Remove the
shaft. If the shaft is difficult to remove, use a puller and a mandrel. Refit the thick Stator
motor clamp plate onto the outer basket and secure with the four Stator mounting bolts.
The Stator clamp plate may be used to hold the legs of the puller in place.
