Procedure Install the DT-51623 motor lift bar. Carefully tip the drive motor onto its side, resting on the cast aluminum support. Never rest the drive motor on the stator copper end coils. Attach a lift assist hook through the DT-51623 motor lift bar handle hole and carefully raise the drive motor while holding it to rotate into position for assembly. Carefully lower the drive motor into the transmission case ensuring the copper end coils do not contact any metallic parts. Guide the drive motor resolver wire through the transmission case while lowering the drive motor using a lift assist. If the drive motor will not fully seat, raise the drive motor up with the lift assist so that the planetary gear set can be rotated slightly to engage the sun gear on the drive motor.
