One thing good about brushless motors is their very low maintenance. But from time to time it's good to take them apart and do some maintaining and cleaning.

I know this is a walk in the park for most, but some people are still a little intimidated by the thought of disassembling an expensive motor. I put together a walk-through with pictures to help.

Thanks this was very useful. I believe there's also an instructional video by Novak too.

Thanks, I'll look for that and add it to the end of the post.

Hey Novak Two,

I'm curious. How many washers should be on the rotor? Thanks for your help!

Thanks!
