Re: [TCML] Salient Pole Query
Try some acetone or other solvent. Use a light touch because some solvents
will attack the enamel insulation on the wiring.

Unfortunately, I just experienced modern (7 year old) dryer motor
construction. The thing is literally glued together, with no good way to break it
apart. Mine seized up a week ago, and I tried to tear it apart to see if I could
do anything with the bearings. Well, there were no real bearings (at least as
I define them). Fortunately, I found one on eBay for $25 (for my dryer). You
may need to look for older motors than mine to be able to do anything with
them.
I used to complain about having to drill out rivets (instead of screws). Now
we have to find a way to grind away glue!
