1
Take apart
Remove screw on top of the model
Contents of the kit
The Tramfabriek made it easy for you! A lot of pre-work has already done. The nickel silver plates have been soldered together and screw threads have been made in the motor and the plates. You’ll only have to replace the worm and fit the new motor.
2
Remove original motor
Remove two screws on the bottom of the model (on this picture the new motor has already been installed). Then solder the wires of the new motor to the contact strips and screw the new motor in place.
3
Place brass adapter in worm
Remove the worm from the original motor (do not use the Tramfabriek gear puller here, as most of the time, the worm is fitted too tight and you will break the pin. You’ll need to heat it up with a torch. For more valuable tips how to remove a worm, gear or flywheel, click here. If you find it difficult, just send the motor to me and I’ll take the worm off. You are even welcome to do this before purchase, so we’ll send it out with the kit.
Then press the brass adapter in the original worm. Be careful with the adapter, the wall is only 0.1 mm thick. You might have to clean out the worm to make room for the adapter.
4
Check fitting
Check how far the worm has to go on the motor axle, glue it on the axle. When the glue has set, go immediately test the model in both directions. When the glue hasn’t completely hardened yet, you’ll still be able to make adjustments.
5
Assemble model
When everything works well, put the parts back together.
