copper-covered vise jaws and pull the assembled motor from the 

Motor Housing (1).

3.   Remove the Rear End Plate Gasket (33) from the Motor Housing.

4.   Using a wrench, unscrew and remove the Rear Rotor Bearing 

Retaining Nut (34).

5.   Remove the Rotor from the vise and remove the Bearing Thrust 

Washer (34A), Rear End Plate (36), Cylinder (39) and Vanes (38).

6.   Check the Front Rotor Bearing (42) for damage or roughness. 

If replacement is necessary, support the Front End Plate (40) 

between two blocks of wood on the table of an arbor press. Press 

the Rotor from the Front Rotor Bearing. Using a flat face punch on 

the inner ring, tap the Bearing out of the End Plate.

7.   Check the Rear Rotor Bearing (35) for damage or roughness. If 

replacement is necessary, use a flat face punch on the inner ring 

and tap the Bearing out of the End Plate.

8.   Being careful not to distort the Housing, grasp the flats on the 

Motor Housing in leather-covered or copper-covered vise jaws 

with the inlet upward.

9.   Using a wrench on the flats, unscrew and remove the Inlet 

Bushing (17).

10.  Remove the Throttle Valve Spring (11) and the Air Strainer  

Screen (18).

11.  Remove the Rear Muffler (14), Inlet Bushing Spacer (16), Muffler 

Element (15), Exhaust Deflector Seal (13) and the Silencer Seal 

Ring (12).

12.  Lift out the Throttle Valve (10) and Throttle Plunger Assembly.

13.  Remove the Throttle Plunger Seal (7) from the Throttle Plunger (6).

NOTICE

Only remove the Throttle Valve Seat (8) when replacing it or 

when the Throttle Plunger Bushing (2) must be replaced.

14.  To remove the Throttle Valve Seat, insert a wire hook through the 

central hole of the Seat and hooking the underside of the Throttle 

Valve Seat Support (9), pull the Support and Seat out of the Motor 

Housing.

15. Before removing the Throttle Plunger Bushing (2), all seals and 

components must be removed from the Motor Housing.

 

For 6WRS or 6WRT, remove the Reverse Valve. Refer to the 

section Disassembly of the Reverse Valve.

 

For 6WT or 6WRT, remove the Shutoff Valve. Refer to the section 

Disassembly of the Shutoff Valve.

 

To remove the Throttle Plunger Bushing, proceed as follows:

a.  Grasp the rear hub of the Motor Housing in leather-covered or 

copper-covered vise jaws with the Throttle Plunger Bushing 

upward.

CAUTION

Apply enough heat to warm the Housing, but not enough heat 

to distort it.

b.   Using a torch, apply heat to the Motor Housing around the 

Bushing.

c.   For 6WS, thread a 5/16”-18 tap into the Bushing and pull the 

Bushing out of the Housing with the tap.

  For 6WT, 6WRS or 6WRT, thread a No. 10-32 tap into the 

Bushing and pull the Bushing out of the Housing with the tap.

Disassembly of the Reverse Valve (for 6WRS or 6WRT)

1.   Using a 3/32” Allen Wrench, remove the Retainer Setscrew (22).

2.   Remove the Lock Pin Retainer (20).

plunger hole downward. While applying light inward pressure to 

the Reverse Valve, tap the top side of the Housing with a plastic 

hammer to dislodge the Reverse Valve Lock Pin (21). Remove the 

Reverse Valve Bushing Seal (3A).

 

For 6WRT, hold the Motor Housing vertically with the motor end 

downward. While applying light inward pressure to the Reverse 

Valve, tap the inlet end of the Housing with a plastic hammer to 

dislodge the Reverse Valve Lock Pin (21).

4.   Withdraw the Reverse Valve from the Housing.

Disassembly of the Shutoff Valve (for 6WT or 6WRT)

1.   Using a wrench, loosen and remove the Regulator Body (27).

2.   With one hand over the Shutoff Valve opening, invert the Motor 

Housing and drop the Shutoff Valve (24) and Shutoff Valve

the Shutoff Valve Stop (25) from the Housing.

Assembly
General Instructions

1.   Always press on the inner ring of a ball-type bearing when 

installing the bearing on a shaft.

2.   Always press on the outer ring of a ball-type bearing when 

pressing the bearing into a bearing recess.

3.   Unless otherwise noted, always press on the stamped end of a 

needle bearing when installing the needle bearing in a recess.

4.   Always clean every part and wipe every part with a thin film of oil 

before installation.

5.   Check every bearing for roughness. If an open bearing must be 

cleaned, wash it thoroughly in a clean, suitable, cleaning solution 

and dry with a clean cloth. Sealed or shielded bearings should 

not be cleaned. Work grease into every open bearing before 

installation.

6.   Apply a film of O-ring lubricant to all O-rings before final 

assembly.

7.   Unless otherwise noted, always press on the stamped end of a 

needle bearing when installing a needle bearing into a recess. Use 

a bearing inserting tool similar to the one shown in Dwg. TPD488.
