Steve,
Here is a copy of an email that I sent to Russ White that may be helpful.

Once on the bench the motor is easily changed. It appears the case splits into two halves, but you don't need to--nor was I able. Remove the case screws on the blower side. This will allow you to slide the wiring out when you remove the motor. The motor has a stem above & below with a squirrel cage attached. The cages are loosened by loosening the set screw on both. Now slide the lower squirrel cage off the motor stem and out of the case. Now slide the motor out of the case while leaving the top squirrel cage in the case and working the wiring out. Reverse the process for the new motor installation. Make sure the squirrel cages do not rub the case once the new motor is installed.

If you can't figure it out feel free to call. I priced a similar motor at my alternator rebuild shop & it was a few dollars less. He stated the motors are not rebuildable. Russ is right. The motors are a three speed, but Newell only uses medium & low.

Let us know how it turns out..................................
