Going BL on my Savage

The end plates are pressed in. If you place the motor vertically on a hard surface (shaft down) and tap on the end (where the wires are), the cap on the wires-end should pop off. Just be aware when you put it back together that the end cap won't ever sit as snug as it did when new, so the RCM heatsink/clamp will almost be required.

Well at this point my option is buying another motor unless I can see if it was defective.

OK...I took the back out and looked at the rotor. It has a black "marker" type Stripe on it. Real strong magnet...

The winds, I cannot see any marks on it. Is there a way to get the winds out or are they part of the case?

Thanks for the help.
