Is that encoder tool something you made or is it something that can be bought?  If the latter, can you post a link for it?

Thanks,

The encoder is a Calt PD30-8G1000BST5. I believe that you can buy it on Amazon (mine was purchased elsewhere). The brass adapter to mount the encoder wheel on the motor or capstan shaft and the magnetic mounts for the encoder pickup where both custom fabricated.

I tried your "easy" motor opening method and it worked great.  No more Dremel and debris from the cutting.  Best tip I've received in a while.  Thanks again.
