I had some big frustrations rebuilding my forklift motor, never having done anything like that before and not knowing what I was doing.

A couple of things that I noticed working on mine are:

Yank that brake off any way you can - all the parts there are going to be useless, feel free to cut or otherwise abuse that part.

Sometimes motors have "secret screws" that you have no idea are there and wil NOT let you take it apart, but since you have the exploded diagram, you are WAY farther ahead than I ever was.

Did I miss it, or do you have a donor car yet? Not sure what you are going to cram that beast into....
