A Couple of Motor Questions

[coolhandcountry]

I thought you could unscrew the end of motor opposite of the pinion gear.
It had a cover over the circuit board.
Then again this was on some of the first novak motors.

Hi Coolhand,

I'm sure there is a way to get into the circuit board, but they have changed the design looks like.

Under the rear cover, you can access the bearing. But then you would have to bend the solder tabs out of the way and continue from there.

Fact of it is, this 6.5 motor I have needs parts. I bought it as a non-working motor thinking I could fix it. but.........

Looks like someone got a pinion stuck on the shaft, then took a hammer to it because part of the housing that holds the rear bearing is broke.

The way to get the rear enbell off to get to the circuit board is to unsolder the windings from the PC board that mounts the external solder tabs. I did this on a motor as an experiment to de-wind it. Then put it back together again and ran it. But I didn't need to fiddle with the electronics on the sensor board.

Of course, you could always just run the thing in sensorless mode.
