• Carefully cut threads into the bearing end of the rotor
shaft (Figure 4.20).
NOTE:
Select a stud from the kit (Figure 4.19,
Items 5 thru 12) of the correct length so that when
threaded into the tapered shaft, its slotted end will
be recessed about 1/4 to 1/2 inch into the rotor
shaft diameter (See Figure 4.21).
• Insert and install the stud into the tapered shaft as
shown in Figure 4.22.
With the stud threaded into the tapered shaft:
• Insert a capscrew of the appropriate thread pitch
(Figure 4.19, Item 1 or 2) into the threaded I.D. of the
rotor shaft.
• Tighten the capscrew firmly against the slotted end of
the stud (See Figure 4.23)
• Strike the head of the capscrew sharply with a hammer.
This should free the rotor from the shaft.
If not:
• Tighten it again and continue this procedure until the
rotor comes free of the tapered shaft.
