The only motors I am a bit careful with dismantling are permanent
magnet DC ones.
I still remember the DEC field service tech repairing an RC11/RS64 fixed head disk drive
with a bad motor. He disassembled the drive to take out the spindle motor (which is also
the platter spindle), sent it off to Appleton Electric Motors for new bearings, then put
it all back together. Worked just fine, didn't even lose any data.
Clearly you're working at that level, which even by the standards of 1974 professional
computer technicians is right at the top of the field.
