Default Sears Radial Arm Saw Motor Repair

Anybody know how to get the motor off a 10 inch radial arm saw. The
motor is defective and I would like to take it to an electrical shop for
repair.


Are you *certain* that the motor has failed?

Those Sears guys are well known for seeming to be dead when sawdust gets into
the guts of the motor. Unscrewing and sliding the lower plastic cover off and
blasting the unit with air (I just used my Toro leaf blower last weekend, by
total coincidence) will often resurrect a dead/humming/no-motion unit for a
few more years.
