[QUOTE="Striper57, post: 505850, member: 16756"] The lower motor housing is threaded to the shaft with red loctite, that's what creates the waterproof seal. Removing the shaft always damages the threads and needs a fair bit of heat to remove. This usually requires either a new shaft or you could cut it and tap it with new threads if you had the correct thread pitch and size. That is not worth the effort. FWIW, cutting the wires and reconnecting them with waterproof butt connectors inside the head isn't difficult at all and will make your life easier. [/QUOTE]
