It looks a bit different than the spindle that we had here in our shop, but It's probably similar enough to figure it out. You must remove the 2 rings from the top end (motor end) then the cover that has the 3 motor wires passing through it. Once you have it off you can tell if there are retaining nut(s) holding the upper end of the spindle shaft. If it's is at all similar to ours, then the darker area of the outside housing contains the stator windings, and the lighter coloured area, at the other end houses the acual spindle bearings. If I can recall, as you disassemble it further the housing can be separated along this line, so that the stator and bearing housing is in 2 parts. Be careful not to nick or damage the stator windings. |
