The motor is out of a dryer (240 VAC) so there is lint build-up in the motor's grease. The casing seems to be a cast iron that has been... connected... not welded, not screwed together. I see no way to get the case open to pull it apart. I can get it working properly for about 24 hours using generous amounts of WD-40, but the motor builds up some physical resistance after this time. I feel I need to clean the contacts, and relubricate the motor. I can see the contacts as the case only holds everything together, and does not fully enshroud the windings. What can I use to clean the motor without dissasembling it further, or how can I dissasemble the case (if you have come across this before you know what I mean). I am an apprentice electrician so I already understand the safty concerns of fixing an appliance.
