Anyone know how to disassemble these? I got the glass side cover off. I beleive I need to remove the "Sticker" to take the motor out. Any tricks to this part? I have had some horrific screeching so I am trying to see whats going on in there and maybe replace the bearings.

Thanks,

First off, there are many YT videos on how to open the dry side.

I've done this on the mp10, yes just peel off the label - its just super sticky, get something flat and very thin to squeeze in between, then there are 3 screws.

I had it opened but unfortunately i couldnt fix anything bc most likely it is the bearing/s. Had to ship it in for repair.

Good luck.

I have watched a few videos but most are the old version of the MP40. The "sticker" seems metallic so I was just trying to make sure its the same.
