Its actually pretty easy if you don't make one mistake - the little compres=
sion fitting on the end of the stator tube will stop you from pulling it up=
 and out if you don't remove it!!!  we pushed the tube back out, saw the fi=
tting, removed it, and out came the stator tube

The body is now off the frame and we are moving towards paint prep on both.

Having trouble with some of the captive nuts spinning; i.e. the captive nut=
s are no longer "captive."  Any advice there?
