Finally decided to attempt to replace the halls in my MAC 8t. Or at least tear it down to learn something, taking pics along the way to share in the hopes they may help somebody else.
Lots of help from spinningmagnets' teardown thread: http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=51310
and Spicerack's cooked MAC repair thread: http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=34806
Before too much damage done:
Removed the sleeves from the solder joints:
Circlip removal:
Spacer next. (took a lot of these pics to help remember the assembly order.)
Tape color-coded phase wires for later:
Cut and removed wires from axle:
Spring washer from clutch side:
Circlip was next:
Clutch came off with a wiggle, a pull, and a helper tapping lightly with a hammer:
Removed the key and washer:
Shaft free:
The disassembly: Note the small parts in a coffee cup. It has a lid, too!
