Drill motors

Is it acceptable to wire the 10 AWG wires to the blue wires already soldered to the drill motors or will it be neccessary to connect the 10 AWG wire directly to the motor terminal.

You can do it either way.

So I guess the rules don't prohibit removing the leads and attaching 10AWG if you want to.
More recently, Update #7 says under the heading "Cautionary Note About Skil-Bosch Drill Motors!!!!!," not to attempt to unsolder the motor lead wires.
My experience is that soldering heat will deform the plastic brush holder.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
