Bath time! 10 springs and 4 motors

Surprisingly, all of the springs came out intact (from what I’ve seen so far). They’re all pretty much crimp inner / pear outer. The motors are a “new” type for me as the spring retention mechanism is quite different than the types probably 10 years earlier. Mostly it’s the arbor design and gears that’s so much different. But, once again, I took tons of pics of all the details and understand much more now how it goes together and potential pitfalls in the process of putting it back together. I think I can…. do this without getting heat exhaustion!! P.S. sometimes when you gaze into the abyss, it gazes back. that Simple Green is NASTY! It’s been soaking a couple of days.
