Step 1: Introduction to Disassembly 0:00

• Overview of the nozzle assembly components: motor, ESC, and top bracket.

• Note that the example is made from spare parts and may differ from your assembly.

Step 2: Preparing for Disassembly 0:12

• Identify the two top screws on the nozzle assembly.

• Cut the silicone off the screw heads using a knife.

• Use a pick if necessary to remove any silicone residue.

Step 3: Removing the Top Screws 0:22

• Use a 2.5mm Allen screwdriver to remove the screws from the top of the nozzle assembly.

• Set the screws aside for reassembly.

Step 4: Separating the Assembly 0:57

• Carefully pull apart the nozzle assembly.

• Be aware that the ridge may be coated in silicone, making it difficult to separate.

Step 5: Identifying Internal Components 1:07

• Locate the clockwise and counterclockwise plugs inside the assembly.

• Note that the writing on the plugs may be small.

Step 6: Unplugging the Cables 1:18

• Clean off any factory silicone surrounding the plugs before unplugging.

• Be cautious not to damage the wires or plugs.

Step 7: Avoiding Motor Disassembly 2:04

• Do not remove the screws around the top of the motor.

• Opening the motor can dislodge bearings and ruin waterproofing.

Step 8: Removing the ESC Bracket 2:11

• Use a knife to carefully cut around the base of the ESC plug to score the silicone.

Step 9: Cleaning Silicone Residue 2:23

• Clean off any additional silicone around the ridge of the bracket before installing a new ESC.

Step 10: Sealing the Assembly 2:37

• Do not use RTV for sealing; it requires a flush mounted edge.

• Use plumbing grade silicone for waterproofing and filling gaps.

Step 11: Final Notes 3:03

• Ensure proper sealing when reassembling.

• Contact your local dealer for further questions.
