First you must un-solder the wires from the coils to the slip rings. Then
it will slide off. Use a good hot iron quickly to avoid undue heat on the
plastic bits. Re-solder with a silver bearing solder that melts a bit
hotter to avoid any chance of solder failure in use.
It is plastic, be careful. When you want to put it back together cool the
armature in the 'fridge. Warm the bearings in the oven to about 200
degrees. then VERY QUICKLY assemble everying the temp differance will
change the parts size enough to speed assembly
