1. Remove the field lead attaching the screw from the solenoid terminal.

4. Remove the frame and field assembly (5) from the drive end housing (8) and armature (2).
5. Remove the armature with the drive assembly from the drive end frame by tilting to disengage the drive collar from the lever.
6. Remove the solenoid attaching screws and the solenoid drive (1) from the end housing.
