Hi Zoltan I wrote up a complete repair seems to be in the last five years; just search the archives under my kelphoto, should get you close Pmail me with any questions as I'm on digest.. The motor and mech are attached via a plastic and rubber coupling. If memory servers the couple is pretty tough, to get them apart I pry with a couple of thin blades and I spray a solvent, we use Moovit up here but WD or some such penetrating oil, spray with the straw at the shafts where they would exit the motor and or the mechanism. Wait , Pry , spray, repeat... Wigging the two components in a side to side motion and/ or tapping on the actual couple may dislodge it a bit sooner, once you get the flanges apart enough. The shafts are slip fit into the couple about 3/8 inch. So worse case if both end moved the exact amount until letting go you'd be at the 3/4 inch part. It seems that the rubber part of the couple is cast around the two plastic collars , so prying may feel like something is rather elastic. Mark |
