Is your motor a closed endbell or open endbell? If it's closed then there's not much you can do. You're better off just buying a new motor, and one with an open endbell would be good

If it is an open endbell motor, then you shouldn't need to remove the can to replace the springs, get should be right on the back of the endbell...
