Field coil repair.
#32

I didn't read carefully enough about the spider being held by screw instead of glue.

Are you familiar with impact drivers? It is a handle that has a 1/2" square for a socket on the end and comes with adapter and screwdriver bits. Torque the end one way and tapping will loosen and the other tighten.

I've obtained extra bits and filed / ground ends to fit various screw slots.

I use a soft face hammer. The impact drives the blade into the screw while torquing it. Small screws - small brass ball peen. I press down hard and torque to unscrew before I tap.

Just Googled it and see a $13 one. Harbor freight and most auto supplies used to carry them. Just checked and NAPA has them listed. Probably still the same blue metal box.

Not sure what your access looks like. Be sure to support the back side on SOLID base so you can use minimum impact.

Out of desperation before drilling out, I've successfully used mine on almost stripped head #8 Philips and I think (but not sure) #6 even though it looks way too big for the application.
