Piece of piss.

Just tap the shaft (front end) on a hard surface, or with a hammer, and the rear endbell will pop off, allowing you to withdraw the rotor. Then you can blow out any dirt and dust from inside, and pop out the bearings for inspection, cleaning and/or replacement.

You will need to glue the rear endbell back in place afterwards (red loctite), and possibly screw it on too like with a neu motor; or wait for Mike to get his heatsink clamps back in stock.

How do you have a piece of piss?

I can see where you can have a piece of crap, considering its a solid form, and removing a chunk of it would create a distinct and uniquely distinguishable piece of the parent material.
Bit of a logistical problem in piss piece portioning perhaps? An aliquot of piss, a portion of piss, even a fraction of piss... those I can see. But to call it a piece of piss implies a level of uniqueness and unrecreatability of shape I don't think you can achieve with liquid forms due to their miscible nature.

Either way, I wouldn't use it to clean the motor no matter how clean your can is.

Ew... I'd rather have the cake. I thought blood sausage was bad enough. No wonder English cooking is world famous for its mediocrity.

English cooking known for mediocrity are you fxxxing serious lets talk about the shit food you haev in the usa. i spent christmas in the usa and i wanted to get some double cream bassically they dont even know what cream is apart from that whippy shit or cool whip whatever. all i know is i wanted to have proper cream and the best we could get after going to walmart and another supermarket was half and half.

The cheeses lol your idea of cheddar cheese is some red coloured wax with no flavour what so ever.
Oh yes and your hershey chocolate is pathetic compared to cadbury.
