Lock motor shaft
If you have trouble removing the rotor cone, feed cone, and/or the trantorque bushing because the motor continues to rotate you might find it handy to lock the rotor. This section show you how.
Remove the cover on the bottom of the motor. The motor shaft has a slot in it for a screw driver. Hold the shaft from rotating with a short screw driver. I found that using a pair of locking pliers helped to get the leverage required in the limited space.
If you cannot lock the shaft with the screw driver you can remove the fan shroud and lock the shaft with a pair of locking pliers. No need to remove the motor from the machine. This photo is to demonstrate the process. If the parts are REALLY tight you can use a pipe wrench to hold the shaft. No need to remove the motor from the machine. This photo is to demonstrate the process. Generally over tight parts can be avoided by applying a light coating of anti-seize compound to the threads of the motor shaft.
