Re: [TCML] Salient Pole Query



Try some acetone or other solvent. Use a light touch because some solvents  
will attack the enamel insulation on the wiring.

Unfortunately, I just experienced modern (7 year old) dryer motor  
construction. The thing is literally glued together, with no good way to break  it 
apart. Mine seized up a week ago, and I tried to tear it apart to see if I  could 
do anything with the bearings. Well, there were no real bearings (at  least as 
I define them). Fortunately, I found one on eBay for $25 (for my  dryer). You 
may need to look for older motors than mine to be able to do  anything with 
them.

I used to complain about having to drill out rivets  (instead of screws). Now 
we have to find a way to grind away  glue!
