    Thanks for posting the video and welcome to the forum.

    That one is well out of my range so i may not know what i'm talking about. To me ... the barrel looks like any other stator ... just bigger. Same procedure as doing a smaller one. Cut the outer jacket away along the seam and the stator inside falls out ?

    It looks like the windings are all epoxied in, but that's where I was thinking of starting - I just hate the mess from cutting copper with a grinder, but can't fit the sawsall in there.

    I just took appart the small stator, and it was a bigger PITA than I thought - I tried a few methods then ended up having to air hammer the epoxy out, which made a giant mess. Hoping to take a shot at the large one later this afternoon.
