Okay, I finally took the electric motor (3/4 hp, capacitor start) off the
cement mixer. This is the motor that got flooded under water for about a
day or two (about 4 months ago).

Shaft will not turn. What's my next step? Tap on it with a soft mallet?
Try to take the end caps off? Move the shaft axially?

If you've done this, please advise. If you think it's a lost cause, tell
me.

Thanks, Ivan Vegvary


There is nothing to fear. Take it apart. You can't make it any worse.
A quality, name brand motor should be worth saving, and will be designed for
easy repair.
Junk, 3rd world motors are just scrap.
