DISASSEMBLY & CLEANING

[credit: @rusins ]

To remove pulleys, sprockets, and gears from motor shafts:
Use a pulley remover tool (aka gear puller). They apply way more force than you could by hammering at them.

A wiper arm puller like the Lisle 54150 has thin arms to get into especially tight spacers.

To clean threadlocker off fasteners:
Acetone appears to dissolve blue and red threadlockers quite well. Just use a paper towel and your nails to scrape it off, should work. A wire brush can also be helpful.

To disassemble fasteners with red (high strength) threadlocker:
You need a heat gun. Once you heat it to a certain point and turn the bolt a little bit, it should be possible to then unscrew it completely.

To disassemble fasteners with green (high strength) threadlocker:
You need a butane torch. Even then it might not want to come off. All I can say to you is: good luck
