Novak Brushless Motor: Brushless Motor Stator Replacement (55-6801-1.D) User Manual
Remove stator from motor
REMOVE STATOR FROM MOTOR:
55-6801-1.D • 1/2014
1. Remove motor from vehicle & brush off any dirt (do not use motor cleaner).
2. Remove the front end bell/can/cap (end section of motor on the same side as
the pinion shaft) using a hex wrench to remove the three long socket head
cap screws. The front end bell/can/cap will then slide off the motor.
3. Remove the back end assembly (end bell/ring, back bearing cap, & timing
assembly) by sliding it back away from the stator/solder tab assembly.
–Keep track of fiberglass insulators between end assembly & solder tabs.
4. Clean inside motor using compressed air.
(NO solvents or spray cleaners)
.
5. Remove the rotor by grasping the pinion shaft with pliers and carefully
pulling the rotor out of the stator assembly.
Note: The rotor is the magnet in brushless motors and will attract metallic objects
(wrenches, washers, etc.)--place rotor on a soft cloth or towel to prevent damage.
–Do Not lose shim washers on pinion (& sometimes back) end of rotor.
–Check condition of rotor--Careful to not damage electronics inside motor.

Stator Replacement
INSTALL NEW STATOR ASSEMBLY:
1. Carefully install rotor into the stator
(windings).
Be sure to re-install any
shim washers that were removed onto the correct sides of the rotor.
2. Insert the fiberglass insulator into back end bell/end ring.
3. Holding the stator in one hand, gently push the pinion end of rotor
into the stator,
extending back end of rotor shaft about 1/2” past stator.
4. Install back end assembly
.
Locate back bearing onto back end of rotor
shaft and key the end bell/ring over the solder tabs. Remove pressure on the
rotor, allowing back end assembly to slide into place on the stator.
5. Slide aluminum sleeve
(on motors w/sleeve) over stator assembly.
6. Insert insulator disc into front end bell.
7. Slide front end bell/cap over pinion shaft and onto stator assembly
and insert the three long socket head cap screws up through the holes in end
bell/cap and guide them into the slots in the stator and sleeve.
8. Seat front & rear end bells/caps onto stator assembly.
Stator needs to sit
squarely down into end bell/cap recesses for proper assembly (sleeve may appear
to have extra space).
Firmly press ends together to properly seat components.
9. Thread screws into tapped holes in back end bell/ring.
Be sure that
rotor spins freely as tightening--If binding occurs, disassemble motor and
determine cause. If it turns freely, firmly tighten the screws.
If screws do not have a patch of locking agent on threads, add a small drop to tips.
10. Re-check screw tension after a few runs. Check all 6 main screws.
