1. Place a soldering iron (200W) on the bearing box
for 3 or 4 minutes to heat it to about 50—60°C
(122—140°F).
Pull out the three bolts, and then insert a screw­
driver between the stator and front bracket and
separate them.
Note
a) If the bearing box is not heated, the bear­
ing cannot be pulled out because the rear
bearing and rear bracket fit together very
tightly.
b) Be careful not to force the screwdriver in
too far. The stator may become scratched.
