I recently was given non-working Minn Kota 50 Endura. The switch assembly checked out okay and when I hot wired the red/black wires going down the shaft no action. I want to go through the motor to see if it may be minor such as brushes. I marked the case as recommended so I won't reverse the motor upon reassembly and pulled the prop, 2 long bolts and slide off the rear case and housing assembly. I'm down to removing the armature assembly from the brush end housing assembly and am not sure of the next step. I've pulled lightly on the armature and it didn't budge.
Any trick to get the armature and brush assembly out of the brush end housing assembly? The tube is still attached to the brush end housing assembly.
Is the armature just possibly stuck in the forward bearing? Brute strength pull?
I don't want to be yanking on the armature unless required.
Thanks for any advice.
