NOTE
If the oil pump was not operating properly, the
entire oil pump & bearing head assembly must
be replaced. Individual parts are not available. If
the pump requires inspection or cleaning, dis-
assemble and reassemble by referring to
Figure 6-10 . Clean all parts and coat all moving
parts with compressor oil before proceeding
with reassembly.

h. Be very careful not to damage the motor windings
when removing the motor end cover (see
Figure 6-11), as the cover fits over the winding coils.
Loosen the cap screws, break the seal and then re-
move all capscrews except one in the top of the cover.
While holding the cover in place, remove the remain-
ing capscrew. Do not allow the cover to drop from its
own weight. To prevent striking the winding, remove
the cover horizontally and in line with the motor axis.

i. Remove the refrigerant suction strainer. If it is
removed with ease it may be cleaned with solvent and
replaced. If the strainer is broken, corroded or
clogged with dirt that is not easily removed, replace
the strainer. Install new gaskets upon reassembly.
j. Block the compressor crankshaft so that it cannot
turn. Use a screwdriver to bend back the tabs on the
lockwasher and remove the equalizer tube and lock
screw assembly. (See Figure 6-12.) The slingers at
the end of the tube draw vapor from the crankcase.
Remove the rotor using a jack bolt. Insert a brass plug
into the rotor hole to prevent damage to the end of the
crankshaft.
k. If the piston rings extend beyond the cylinder tops, the
pistons can be pulled through the bottom plate open-
ing after the piston rings are compressed. A piston
ring compresser will facilitate removal. Each piston
pin is locked in place by lock rings which are snapped
into grooves in the piston wall. See Figure 6-13
l. Since the stator cannot be replaced in the field, the
terminal plate assembly need not be disturbed unless
a leak exists and the plate assembly needs to be re-
placed. If no terminal plate repair is required, proceed
with reassembly.
