Gunther,

Interesting!

Please let me know how you get on with the install!

I havn't cracked the case open yet on the 5500 unit, I need to get an impact
driver, those screws are in tight!

I have a working motor from an old 5400 elev unit, the rest of the rotor is
shot, but the motor works. I was hoping to use it to replace the failed one
in the 5500.

Cheers
Paul
