hello guys i am posting yet another step by step guide to building your own vpp motor first lets see how to open up a motor.

The steps are to remove a small e shaped clip from the bottom of the motor attached to the shaft.
and then you will see a small gap between the drum and the base
next step is to pull the two apart
done you have a motor ready for shaft replacement

thanks for the help and will put the next steps next week after i receive my vpp setup

Hey..
Those two black stoppers are grub screws.  Use a correct sized allen key to slowly loosen them..  Once they are loosened / removed, then slowly tap the shaft out.  I REPEAT, TAP IT OUT, DO NOT HAMMER!!  You might break the casing!  Dont ask me how I know though  ;)!!

Nice depictions and guide dude!! Keep it up!!

While taking pics next time, switch on macro mode on your camera.  That would give you much clearer pics at that distance!

thanks chan for giving me the answer and by the way i have sent my camera for repair as i need it for the moss step by step guide any way will complete this guide in a few weeks as i am waiting for the vpp setup and hollow shaft

here is a picture of how it looks grub screw/Allen key

thanks sahil and Chan bhaiya now i know everything about grub screws
by the way on to the next step
take the rotating drum part
locate the two grub screws
and loosen the the grub screws by inserting an Allen key. in the pictures i have used my mini screwdriver set with a suitable pin.
after that mark the point on the top of rotating drum on the shaft at the point where it emerges.
then place it on a surface then start tapping the shaft witha cutting plierss circular part or a hammer slowly and steadily then you will notice it coming out.
that's it for now as my VPP setup will arrive in a week and a half until then i will find a hollow shaft and show you how to insert it in

sorry for blurry pics as my mobiles camera doesn't have macro settings my camera should be with me before moss guide

what happened to the vpp

Please don't mind me correcting you, what you describe as an ''e-clip'' is technically termed as C-clip.

I'll be watching the thread for further progress. Good luck, my friend. :thumbsup:
