Thanks Chevyman and Racecarl for the quick input, this has just added to my limited knowledge about these sorts of things...... as u might have gathered i am at best a novice in regard to mechanics, however I think now that I might just try to pull this motor myself an do the job. I feel that the resources within this forum can lead me along with the known literature available. My biggest concerns are the equipment needs in order to accomplish this. I realize that any machining is to be outsourced, but "what in the hey" else is gonna be needed?? Any one care to reply as to whether or not a novice should attempt this?
