I am sure now that you are right, Tom. I've removed the retainer fragments, and it's clear that there's a well for the bushing to sit in; when assembled, there's no reason for it to shift. And now, I have a convenient hole for routine oiling :P Meanwhile, the bushing is soaking in penetrating oil. A...

So Tom, you think that once the assembly is back together, the bushing won't drift? I guess I could test that -- assemble, and try to wiggle the shaft. My concern was that the armature might come in contact with the field magnets if it drifted at all. I'll give it a try, and see how it goes. Thanks ...

Tom's suggestion was a good one. I drilled a small hole in the recess that holds the bushing, and dripped in some rust cutter, a couple of times. Then I took a punch, braced the housing, and tapped the armature out... Voila! Out it came. With the bushing still attached... :cry: https://59plymouth.ne...

Folks, I recently received this message from Bob Asmus, the winner of the ebay Auction for the Dalinis car.

Here's a great suggestion from Tom! Think I'll try it out tonight: > -----Original Message----- > From: Tom Fox [mailto:tom.fox@verizon.net] > Sent: Friday, June 04, 2004 10:09 AM > To: Dan Morton > Subject: Re: [59plymouth] problems removing the armature from the power > window motor > > > Hi Dan, ...

Charlie, I definitely see disk brakes in my future. I'll probably get a kit, though, I'm nowhere near as ambitious as you :P My interior bears some semblance to the original, but it's definitely not factory; and it's now painted red, where it once was bronze. I won't drill any holes in the dash, eit...

Hmmm... Went to make indents in the rivet heads with a fine point punch -- so I could drill them out -- and they literally fell out! So the backing plate is free. Still, I can't pull the armature out of the can. It spins freely, but it's almost as if there's a retainer holding it in the bearing. I d...

I asked about finding a source for a replacement motor in this thread... http://59sportfury.net/59forum/viewtopic.php?t=57 Alas, no nibbles, at least, no inexpensive ones. Last night I decided to remove the star gear on the end of the shaft, by gently tapping down on the shaft with two splints of wo...

Matthew brings up an interesting point: the owner of what was formerly Ron Swartley's SF ( http://www.59sportfury.net/showcase/swartley.html ) is not known. Although Arnold Poteet's SF is now owned by Jack Bitterman ( http://www.59sportfury.net/showcase/bitterman.html ), we still don't know who owns...

Thanks for the tip, Detective. I'm on it...

Hmmm..... good catch. Time for a new thread about this topic. Moving to "Much Ado..."
