RE: How 2 Clean Motor?
some of the guys may have diff ways of doing it but this is what I do. Every 3-5 runs I pull the motor and spray the motor through the motor mounting screw holes using the tube that comes with the cleaner. If it is dirty you will notice it in the runoff. The runoff should be nice and clear. I wil then spray down the endbell being sure to get the comm. NOTE: Pull the brushes first as you dont want to spray them because they have their own lubricant. I will then rotate the motor around by hand a few times spray it down one more time. Let it dry or use a compressor to blow it off, put the brushes back in, and I use 3 in 1 oil to relubricate the bearings at the endbell and the motor mounting sides of the can. Hey guys if this is wrong let me know so I can fix it lol. This is how I have done it for a long time with decent results.
