Drive Motor Rotor: Service and Repair

IMA Motor Rotor Removal/Installation

Special Tools Required

- Rotor Puller 07YAC-PHM010C

The motor rotor contains very strong magnets and should be handled with special care. People with pacemakers or other sensitive medical devices should not handle the IMA motor rotor.

WARNING
If the rotor is installed by hand, it may suddenly be pulled toward the stator with great force, causing serious hand or finger injury. Always use the special tool (rotor puller) to remove or install the rotor assembly.
- Keep the motor rotor away from magnetically sensitive devices.
- Do not blow air near the rotor, as metal particles may get on the magnets.
- Store the rotor in the designated storage box, and keep it away from sensitive devices during storage.


1. Remove the transmission.

2. M/T model: Remove the clutch Service and Repair.

3. M/T model: Remove the flywheel Service and Repair.

4. CVT model: Remove the drive plate Service and Repair.

5. Install a plastic film (A) between the IMA motor rotor (B) and the motor stator (C).






6. Remove three of the six bolts (A) as shown.






7. Install the three rotor puller guide pins, then remove the remaining three bolts (A).






8. Attach the rotor puller with its supplied bolts.

NOTE: When installing the rotor puller, position the puller to fit over the guide pins (A).






9. Turn the handle of rotor puller, and remove the IMA motor rotor (A).






10. To prevent damage to the rotor magnets while working on the stator, place the rotor, with puller attached, into the puller case.






11. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.

NOTE:

- When installing the rotor, make sure the special tool is attached with its handle turned out several threads.
- Turn the handle of the special tool slowly when inserting the rotor into the stator. The rotor is drawn into the stator by magnetic force.
