	* 2022-06-21 [[User:Padski\|Padski]] freed the motor end-cap from the rotor bearing with repeated & firm strikes of the sanding disc end of the rotor shaft head-on with a wooden mallet. Tip for next time: remove the belt and wiggle the disc-end end-cap loose to a gap after undoing the four bolts, but there's no need to loosen the belt-end end-cap—consider the inertia of the disc-end end-cap when striking the shaft. Cleaned the centrifugal switch contacts, although the plastic triangular wedge was also incorrectly seated.
