bassrace Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Put the Phillips head screwdriver on the screws, And hit the screw driver down so it bites the screw. ( Not super hard though. ) And push down on the screw driver when backing the screws out. That way you don't strip the screws, and then your fugged. I had to do this on a 18 XL. Fairly easy. Do this and get all the bolts out then hit the basket itself with the hammer upwards.

dwright27 Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 I wouldn't hit the basket with a hammer take a flat head and the hammer and use it as a chisel to break the glue seal between basket and motor Quote 2006 F-150 4 DC XL M2 18's Walled Daily Driver XS Power 4 DC 3.5kw Team DC Team S.P.L.

But i would wrap the hammer in a rag or something, so you don't chip or damage the basket. Unless you have a rubber hammer.

Well I always used a hammer with no problem.(all the ones I've done have been stuck together tight). Your not hitting with all your might you just give it a good tap, but yea a rubber mallet would be the best thing if you were worried about damaging it. And using the screwdriver to break the glue between the motor and basket did'nt turn out too well when I tried last if you slip you'll scratch the top plate.
