Hello: I am trying to re-assemble the motor on a vacuum cleaner I found next to the dumpster. The problem is that I cannot fit the armature or commutator through the carbon brushes without removing the stationary magnet first. But, once the armature is fitted correctly so that the brushes are on it, then I cannot put the stationary magnet back on. It appears that the bearing and the fan are glued or welded to the shaft, so I cannot remove those items to replace the stationary magnet. A diagram would be helpful, but I can't find one. This vacuum cleaner appears to be made in the early 90's, from the codes on different pieces throughout. Any suggestions?
