Good motor practices

[nuttle]

Be very careful if you try to press something onto the shaft or to press the raised ring on the end of the CIM itself into anything. If you press the shaft of any motor, it is hard not to ruin the bearings. If the other end of the shaft is exposed, you can support it and even use it to help hold the shaft perpendicular to the press by using a piece of metal with a dimple drilled into it to keep the shaft from wandering. The raised ring on the end of the CIM is part of the endcap which can be fractured pretty easily in a press -- avoid any tight fits here.
