7 REMOVAL
7.1 REMOVING A MOTOR WITH AN IEC STANDARD FLANGE
If the mobile coupling between the motor and the gearbox has not rusted badly during service, it should be
possible to remove the motor without applying excessive force once the screws coupling it to the gearbox
have been removed.
If it proves difcult to remove the motor, do not use screwdrivers or levers to apply force as this may
damage the anges and mating surfaces. Proceed as illustrated below instead.
Drill and thread (as necessary)
Impact extractor
1. Drill and thread the fan end of the drive shaft if it is not already threaded.
2. Screw in an impact extractor.
3. Undo the bolts xing the motor to the gearbox.
4. Use the impact extractor to detach the motor.
