Introduction

Outline what you are going to teach someone how to do.

  1. fbmOcR1Nv425QUqh

    • Take out the screw which holds on the silver band using a Phillips #2 screwdriver.

    • Remove the silver band.

    Maybe start with unplugging it ?

  2. ZCMIIPP1eoaPPXvx

    • Remove the four Phillips #2 screws located around the mixer where the band was removed.

    • This picture only shows two of the screw that you need to remove. The other two are on the exact opposite side of the mixer.

  3. HrJKZjfMarTMmBHX

    • Remove the top of the mixer to reveal the inner parts.

    • The top should lift off, but may not if it is stuck. A sharp strike from the back with the hand may unstick it. It will slide forward about a 3/8 of an inch. Push it back again from the front and it should be free enough to lift.

  4. kagAOeyFr6F3xtpD

    • Locate the selector switch.

    • Remove the two Phillips #2 screws holding the selector switch in place.

    • Unplug the cords attached the drive motor to the switch.

    • We suggest numbering them left from right so they are reattached to the replacement part in the right order.

    I would suggest labeling with what they go to (line, motor 1, etc) since at least for the HD version they changed the board layout so you need the labels to match them up.

    • Pull out the Selector Switch.

    Somewhere between steps 4 and 7, you removed the planetary cover. This is just two more screws and must happen before the motor will lift out.

    Oops, make that 4 more screws. Still, it's easy. Just a little gooey with the transmission grease, so mind you don't get any dirt or whatnot in there when it's open.

    • Remove the two Phillips #2 screws holding the motor in place, located near the fan at the back of the motor.

    • The picture only shows one of the screws. The other screw is located on the exact opposite side of the motor.

  8. USZKTKJ2yaNPc2YC

    • Pull upward to remove the motor.

    You missed the step about removing the gearbox cover, even though it is shown as removed in the pictures. The motor cannot be removed with the gearbox cover in place. For anyone doing this repair, remove the four phillips screws holding the cover on and lift upwards. It is full of grease so have some paper towels handy in case any spills. When replacing the cover (after re-installing the motor) you may need to spin the gears (do this by rotating the motor fan) so that the accessory drive gear meshes properly in order for the cover to fit back into place. Be sure to align the planetary shaft with the recess in the gearbox cover as well.

anyone know where I can get the hall effect sensor receiver that is on the motor shaft? Somehow it's missing?
