"Possibly the hardest part (Plan A) is feeding the harness wires back
through the lower portion of the stator tube to replace the wheel/hub."
----------------------------------------------------------
I was prepared for a real struggle and since I did not like the condition
of the electrical connectors I decided to cut them off and use new
ones once I pulled the wires down through the stator tube.
This made everything easy and to anyone who has difficulty in pulling the
wires with connectors in place please consider cutting them off and
renewing them as I did.
