TOOTHBRUSH AND MOTOR
DISASSEMBLY
These instructions are for the inexpensive electric
toothbrush models that use replaceable AA
batteries. Similar methods can be used for other
varieties.
Remove the toothbrush end cap and battery.
Twist the case apart. Pull the motor out, and pry
the “wobble” weight off the shaft with a pair of
pliers.
To open the motor case, pry the 2 side tabs
upward with a small screwdriver. Remove the end
cap and slide the rotor out of the case.
The two curved magnets in the case are held in
place by a V-shaped metal clip which you can pry
out with pliers and a small flat blade screwdriver
(Figure
A
).
