Insides of a KB 45 xl motor -

Not sure if anyone cares, but this is what one of these beasts looks like apart. The feigao motor behind the rotor is a 15l. The front end bell unscrews, quite easily on this one.
mine has came apart a couple of times on the shaft side. last time i used thread lock then soldered a small spot, then covered the seam with ca glue. its been holding since then, but i'm expecting it to come loose again. i would have done something better, but i was in the mood to bash, not wrench. its not coming apart from unscrewing either, it popped over a few threads which then allows it to move depending on accellerating or breaking.

I've heard of the KB-45 motors being easy to take apart... My isn't so easy. In fact, I couldn't unscrew the front endbell at all, with the use of a rubber strap wrench and an adapter plate that basically stuck the front endbell to the vice.
That rotor is big, though!
