I don’t know if Luiz is on our new site but here’s a thread I did on a complete tear down and reassembly of a 149575, first year stamped steel Westy. Including pulling the stator which was a breeze but the method not to everyone’s liking. But efficient and, IMO, the way to go. https://www.afcaforum.com/view_topic.php?id=63937&forum_id=1&highlight=Westinghouse+149575
