1st time cleaning the Stepper Motror - Advice??

[MikeGF]

Fellow Owners..

This weekend I am going to loose my stepper motor virginity and clean it the first time myself (4l Chimaera P plate).

I was wondering what advice/stories/reccomendations you would have?

I know you will all say "Do a thread search!" but I have started a new job and am trying to keep surfing PH to a minimum (for the time being ) So any links to threads etc would be a great help, and I can look after hours. Don't want to get caught skiving in my first week

Thanks everyone
Mike

easy, you know where its located I assume. Unplug the connectors, stick a spanner on the motor. Turn anticlockwise to undo. Take a piece of rag, dip in white spirit, clean top of motor, reassemble. With the right spanner, it takes 30 seconds

Photo shoot in the bible including fully unclad naked plungers with absolutely no shame....

PS you really out to clean the hole in the plenum as well...

As a first timer (and bible owner) a picture of where it is would be a great help.. Just to be double sure..

Maybe a daft question but, how often should should you clean your stepper motor?
