First, locate the fixing screws holding the servo body

parts together.

There are normally four, two on the top on one end,

and two on the underside at the other.

Carefully remove and retain these screws.

Carefully remove the top case moulding from the top

mounting plate by pulling upwards.

Take care not to disturb the lower moulding.

Take careful note of the positions of all gear wheels

so that you can be sure to replace them in the correct

positions later.

Remove the centre gear only from its bearing. Rotate

the output shaft and note that it will only rotate as far as

the end stops.

Now, remove the output shaft and motor gears from

their bearings.

Note that the feedback potentiometer is coupled directly

to the output shaft by a flat shaft.

Note also, the end stops on the output shaft, and servo

body which prevent the output shaft rotating more than

about 180 degrees.
