I'M RESTORING A 2025 . AS USUAL I GET STUCK FIXING THE E UNIT. THE WIRES HAVE ALL BUSTED OFF BUT STILL ARE FLEXIBLE. HOWEVER WHERE THE WIRE FROM COMES UP FROM THE COLLECTORS ON THE BOTTOM. THAT WIRE BROKE DOWN TO THE SOLDER JOINT DOWN DEEP INSIDE THE MOTOR FRAME HOW IN THE WORLD CAN I RESOLLDER DOWN DEEP THERE? ANY SUGGESTIONS

The collector assembly will need to be removed for the repair. I use a medium size pair of snap ring pliers to spread the frame bottom to remove the collector assembly, it's A little tricky but not that complicated.
