7. Carefully lift out the components, such as the armature or rotor, from the motor casing. Take note of their positions and orientation if necessary.

8. Inspect and clean any components that need attention, such as removing debris or lubricating certain parts.

9. Reassemble the motor in the reverse order, ensuring that all components are properly aligned and installed.

10. Secure the motor casing with screws or fasteners and tighten them appropriately.

11. Reconnect any wires or connections that were disconnected earlier, referring to the notes or photos taken if needed.

12. Once the motor is reassembled, ensure all connections are secure and the motor is properly aligned before applying power.
