Hi all..
Decided to start a new thread with appropriate headings incase someone search for such a topic.
So after a lot of procrastination , I made a move .. Lol.
For background , let me just post the links to two associated previous threads.
This was to intro the TT + some background and pics.

I then found a second hand used one ( thx to Matt and got a plinth for it)..
Tested it and the motor made a squeaking sound...
Then got the service manual and asked the guys what oils / greases to get
Here is that thread :

Now , I have managed to open the motor of the spare TT I got
Here is some pics ..
If a Good Samaritan could please download and expand them ( tx in advance).
Two halves of motor opened :

Top half

Bottom half top view.

Bottom half side view.
See how that part where the motor "spindle" is on can lift up
That entire silver core thingy is one piece.

Now the question is where exactly to clean and lubricate..?
Oh , one or two tips
Mark the sides of the two halves with a permanent marker before opening the two halves.
This will help when putting it back together again to align the halves.
One thing I noticed is that the core piece of the motor ( spindle thingy ) have vertical play , so it will obviously be wise to see how much play it must have before opening the motor and perhaps also make horizontal markings to ensure when you put the halves back together that you don't push it in too far or too little...
Sorry I don't know what to call that core spindle thingy which is the part that actually spins..
Here are some pics on how I got the motor apart .. Easily and seemed safe
Just loosen the two nuts on top of the motor housing holding the long screws

Make the markings to help with re aligning later..
At this point I would make horizontal markings as well and check the vertical play of the motor for later when reassembling.

Use two flat drivers and don't put them in deep or force to hard and a piece of wood and force it open.
