Front motor bearing exploded. Outer race got stuck. The nice thing is the front cap comes off hobbywing motors apparently.
Couldn't get any purchase on the outer race anyway.
Drilled a hole in the front cap so I could get a screwdriver on it and pound it the fiddlestick out.
Had to put the cap back on the motor to hold it up and so there was room for the outer race to fall out.
Conveniently it uses the rear bearing from the v2 arrma 3660 3200kv motors and I had one handy. Fit it in and got it back together. It goes. I got it as clean as possible. Hopefully not too much metal shavings in there. No ball bearings or anything.
Great success overall I guess.
