Jim Roadt Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Having difficulty removing stator. Do I use same methods as described in other stator removal posts ( pvc method etc)? If too difficult I will just work around it Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Huber Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 The bearing holders are die cast(pot metal), and despite removing the screws, don't just SLIP out of there nice 'n easy. Unless you can devise an ingenious method of PULLING the stator out without distorting the housing, or touching those bearing holders, I would ..."work around it". 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Dunlap Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Jim, I removed the stator from the last furniture fan motor you sent me before powder coating. Very similar to this DC motor. I adjusted my vise to just touch the edges of the motor, and tap tap tap until the stator began to move. The little tabs on the side can be utilized once you get it moving. I didn't touch the bearing carriers, because as Russ stated, they are pot metal will likely just break if you try to remove them. If the stator doesn't move with a few taps, you should probably paint with the stator in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Roadt Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 thanks It did not budge.... and I will work around it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane Shirey Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Bill’s method using a vice and drift punch seems to work well with those, just be careful not to let the punch slip into the mounting holes in the stator if they’re threaded. Sometimes dribbling a small amount of good quality penetrating oil around the outer edge of the stator can help. Also heating the motor case with a heat gun makes it hard to hold, but can expand it a little bit and will soften hardened oil residue.

Bobby Gaines Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I use a steering wheel puller. I put that 5/8" washer down on top of the bearing housing, then a socket . I have do it a lot and never broke one unless one was already cracked. If they are cracked I repair them like in the picture. Good luck. Maybe this will help: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Roadt Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 Blades easier to make wooden than housing . Next the long low bake to dry the oil paint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Henderson Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 From your pics,that sure looks like wood to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Roadt Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 It's a miracle.... still runs after reassembly That's it for pin striping no outline and probably leave off base also 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Roadt Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 This is the closest I can get to wood grain look. Not sure why I wasted all that time making wooden base and yoke I like the original aluminum. Still have to remove a clip to get back on properly and wire it up. It's a miracle it does still run on DC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
