Default cleaning castle brushless motors

Hello All,
I am trying to get inside my 4600kv motor, but the end bell doesn't want to budge. The only reason i want to take it apart is because the bearing sounds noisy, or something in there is noisy (hopefully the bearings) I dont want to start forcing and prying to get the endbell off until I ask about it. If anyone has any advice or help, or even pics, that would be great. Thanks!

If this is the wrong forum let me know, the brushless motor, etc forum is in the aircraft section.

i tried taking my motor apart too and was also not able to get the endbell off. you can take the front cap off though. everything just pulls out once you do that and you can reach all the bearings. thats what i did.

The endbells are epoxied on, the screws are mainly for show, just to pass inspections as told to me by castle.
