My motor is put back together and the rear stationary gear is ready to be put on and torqued. I'm having a problem getting the pin on the rear iron to line up with the slot in the gear. I can rotate the E-shaft and the teeth will fall into the rotor, but the pin will still not line up, it's off by probably less than 1/16th of an inch. I rotate the E-shaft completely around several times and it still will not line up. Has anyone experienced this? Oh btw, I'm using a RX8 rear stationary gear.

 

Typically the gear is installed in the housing and then stacked on the rotor/rotor housing so that the rotor can move and align it self. You'll need to sift the rotor slightly until in lines up.

I tried moving the E-shaft so that the rotor would rotate around, but that didn't help.

Found this by dubulup in a similar thread:

"keep trying to get the teeth to engage in the rear rotor (the motor has probably slighty rotated CW looking at the rear rotor), and when they do turn the motor with the gear until the keyway is aligned."

Worked like a charm. It's funny, I messed around with this last night for like 15 minutes, and after I read this, it took all of 6 seconds to get it in.

Thanks dubulup!
