Removal of the end bell from Epic motors

Post by SFC K »

For the Epic motors, they have the metal tabs (one on each side opposite of each other) that keep the motor housing or can from turning and for taking them apart. What is the best method for getting the end bell off without mangling up the plastic? I have already snapped the end off a small screwdriver trying to get the end bells off.

Thanks!
Jeff

That's how I used to do it. Don't forget to cringe when you do it :shock:

I am NOT recommending that method any more than I recommend drilling a fresh tub for servo screw access
