R,

I took out one of my 6101 a week ago to do semi-annual maintenance. I soaked it in vinegar for a week. I could not pull out (or move) the propeller shaft, so I pulled REALLY hard. It broke! I snapped about 1/2 inch inside the motor housing. Its looks very calcified. Do you have any magic suggestions for getting the rest of that thing out or is this thing finished?

Thanks,

Jason

My daughter wants me to add this for fun, so...:fish1:

Hi Jason,

I can usually extract them, but the motor may be dead, we won't know until we get it out. Typically in this state, what is left has to be drilled out.

Send it in and be sure to include a note with return address and phone number:
