Terminal Insulator Inspection
1. Remove the motor from the vehicle. See Motor Removal, Section 16, Page 16-2.
2. Remove the terminal insulators by performing steps 1 through 11 of Motor Disassembly on page 16-4.
1. Inspect the insulators for cracks or other damage. Replace insulators as required.
Bearing Inspection
NOTE: Replacement of the end cap bearing is highly-recommended if the end cap is removed from the
motor. The following procedure is provided as a guideline for determining general bearing failure.
1. Remove the motor from the vehicle. See Motor Removal, Section 16, Page 16-2.
2. Remove the bearing by performing steps 1 through 13 of Motor Disassembly on page 16-4.
3. Use a clean cloth to wipe the carbon dust off of the bearing. Inspect the bearing by spinning it by hand
and checking for both axial (A) and radial (B) play (Figure 16-12, Page 16-9) .
4. Replace the bearing if it is noisy, does not spin smoothly, or has excessive play. Check the bearing and
replace if rusted, worn, cracked, or if there is an abnormal color change in the metal of the bearing.
Speed Sensor Magnet Inspection
Inspect the speed sensor magnet (12) for rust, wear, and cracks (Figure 16-13, Page 16-10) . Replace the
magnet if necessary.
