  <p>Here's what it looks like once you get the front cover off:</p>

  This motor was not easy to take apart. Unlike some of the others that have screws or clips that can be released, I wasn't able to get into this one without basically cutting it in half. If you need to repair one of these, it is possible to get it apart and put it back together, but I believe that glue would need to be involved to hold it securely together again.
  
  Here's what it looks like once you get the front cover off:
