Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Remove the Planetary Assembly
  • Place some dish towels or other soft material in the base to protect it from any potential impact.
  • Disconnect the planetary from the motor drive shaft by removing the retaining pin (circled in yellow). You can do this with a hammer and either a pin punch or a Torx T15 screwdriver. Simply hammer the punch/screwdriver on the pin until it comes out the other side.
  • If the planetary assembly doesn’t fall out, you might have to give it a firm pull straight down to remove it.

  • Place the powertrain to the side, taking care not to damage any of the plastic parts like the rear fan.
