Tried to open the brushless motor in order to check the bearings. Screw would not come out even when heated. Tried a counterclockwise "get screw out drill" - not happening.... :sneaky:

So I opened the other side, breaking away the epoxy protector. Now I am not sure if A is right next to bearing C. Or B right next to the bearing C.

I think it's A right next to C but I am pretty sure I have seen it the other way round in another motor.

Help appreciated.

B is a spacer. A is to keep the armature from walking back and forth. I would put B on the armature, then place C on the shaft and see if A fits against B. If it does, would put C on shaft and put in housing. That is my take.
 
Here's a helpful video that shows the correct order of those bits that goes back into the brushless motor.

 
Thanks for the video. Was very helpful! Especially with inserting the bushing the right way around. Would have missed that.
