Title: Pulling motor out
Post by: outofhours on June 16, 2015, 06:52:48 PM: I know this may sound really stupid. The day cruiser I bought a while back, I decided to pull the 460 out and give it a good check out. However I can not get the motor to come off the spine to the pump. What am I doing wrong? Does it not just slide off as it appears it would do? Any help would be appreciated

Is it moving at all?

Whack the snot out of it with a hammer using a block of hardwood.
