Removing the Shaft Cap
-
Take a picture or count and write down the number of coils in the coil cable that wraps around the shaft.
When re-assembling the shaft and shaft cap, you must use the same number of coils around the shaft.
-
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.
