Hi,
Does anyone have instructions on how to take apart the motor assembly for the Vortech MP40qd pump? The motor stopped working when it fell off the side of my tank and I think it may have stretched/disconnected the internal wires that connect to the motor.
Thanks

If it fell and hit the floor, the bearings may have gotten messed up. The only instructional video I know of is a guy who replaced the bearings.

Thanks, this almost works except it looks like the quiet drive and original Vortech motors are a little different. That is, the back is not a sticker on the quiet drive motors and cannot be easily pried off (see 0:25 of part 1). Any ideas on how to access the back screws?
Thanks
