Removing the Shaft Cap
-
Take a picture or write down the number of times the coil cable wraps around the shaft.
When reinstalling the shaft cap, you will need to make sure the cable wraps around the shaft the same number of times.
-
Using a #3 Phillips screwdriver, remove the
1/4–20 bolts
, lock washers, and nuts
that secure the shaft cap to the shaft.

You should keep these bolts and nuts in a safe place, because you must use them when reinstalling the shaft cap.
- Lift up the shaft cap to disconnect it from the shaft.
- Pull the cables completely through the shaft cap, taking care to avoid damaging the cable connectors when you pull them through.
