To change it, you have to get the iron core out of the motor can intact.

Once you have the core removed, all the old winding is removed and discarded.

If the coating on the laminations is intact, you're lucky. If it isn't, it needs to be recoated.

This coating is there to prevent tearing the enamel on the magnet wire as you pull it and do the winding. It pays to eliminate all the sharp edges. Any short phase to phase, or phase to core, and you're not so lucky.

Any shorts means starting over.
