Build a platform to slide the unit onto. Carefully bend the copper lines.
The problem with the condenser fan motor is the bronze bearings wear and lose their lubrication over time. Then the motor has a hard time starting. The telltale signs are rattling motor and compressor amperage that starts out normal and climbs as the compressor runs. The compressor is building high head pressure because the refrigerant is not being cooled and condensed.
The motor is an unusual RPM, but this replacement is proven to work. You do have to cut the shaft length. Short work with a side grinder. http://newellgurus.com/showthread.php?tid=4945
After seeing how common this failure is, I would replace the motor in all three as a preemptive strike against my wife being hot and miserable. Cause when momma is miserable…………..
