G+_Jason Perry Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I have been taking HDDs apart for magnets and motors. I have run into a problem, some of the stepper motors are fused to the meal case. Does anyone know if it is just glue and are there any suggestions on how to take them apart without breaking the motor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Peach Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Jason Perry?, you can't edit your post after I say this... You mean the stepper motors are permanently attached to your lunch box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Travis Hershberger Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Suggestions on how to sperate them yes, without destroying the motor while doing so, not so much. From the last few I took apart myself, you'd need a heavy duty press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Perry Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 Travis Hershberger?, hmmm... I have access to one. Not sure I have an end small enough. I'll have to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Perry Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 Travis Hershberger?, I am assuming you cut them out. Did they come out with no problem after you cut them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
