    What holds the electric motors like those into place? I believe you take apart 3 bolts and one side will come off correct? Or atleast the one I had yesterday was like that, but didn't take it apart.

    Lastly we have transformers, remember cut the wire before it's burnt. Now that the coper has been cut, burn it the wire falls out.

    Sorry guys I'm not getting into weights and measures, nor am I going to elaborate on how to hold your work.

    I will go so far as to say my last cash out was a large enough to put a smile on my partners face.





    Best Regards to everyone, good luck in your ventures.

    They are all a little different but after taking those bolts off it should have at least been on the loose side. Is there anything on the shaft? Did you smack it around some with a hammer?
