A photo from the right side showing the position of the reduction gears and the locating spindles. The spindles are a tight push fit into the chassis - but can be ejected with a firm push from a narrow bladed screwdriver. It is useful to do this to be able to clean them up, ensure that there is no damage to the teeth or hubs, regrease them and replace them in better shape than they were. If removing the motor, the black wire needs disconnected from the tender. (Cut it inside the tender and resolder it later). The motor and the pickups can be taken off in one piece by unscrewing the 2 motor screws (see motor section) and unscrewing the single cheese head screw shown in the photo.
