Okay, time to tap into this vast knowledge base, and I'm posting this question under the H discussion to hopefully expand that base.
I managed to get a tiny piece of something ferrous in one of my H Plus motors. Don't ask me where it came from or how it got there, I haven't a clue. All I know is it's there and I'm grounded 'till I get it out. The motor doesn't spin freely and acts like a ratchet sometimes. I can see a tiny object stuck to a magnet, but I can't get it out. I have tried compressed air @120PSI while turning it back & forth but that isn't enough to dislodge it. Paper is about the only thing that will fit between the rotor and the stator but that's useless, and I'm drawing a blank on what would fit and have the strength to drag it out. Has anyone been here before, anyone have a quick slick solution? If not it looks like I need to take the motor apart.
If that's the case, Anyone know a quick slick way to get that tiny circlip off the motor shaft without the proper tool?? Without damaging it? Nothing I have will open up one that small. Wouldn't mind having the right tool but that would take a week to order, if I could find one.
