I came across an old Diehl recently, but is really grimy. Does anyone here know how I can remove the oil cup to get to the bearings and shaft ? Hopefully one of the experts like Dan or Brian can help clear this up for me ;D

Sorry, i didnt see this.. Andrew, it's not that simple. The switch housing and the oil cup are two seperate pieces, that are threadlocked together. simply "trying" to turn it, wont do a damn thing to remove it. Trust me, i had a helluva time trying to remove that cup off of sean's diehl, hoooboy that was tough. What you need to do is, get two pairs of "channel-locks" one 4" jaw and one 2" jaw. If the finish is nice, put duct tape on the jaws of the "channel-locks", if not, just go right to town on er' It is removed by (if my memory sertves to be correct) putting torque on the switch housing portion in the clockwise direction, and putting torque on the oil cup in the counter-clockwise direction. It WILL be hard to do, as diehl apparently put a LOT of torque on that thing. As i had to put the motor in A vise, and use Locking Pliers to hold the switch housing, and hold the oil cup with the "channel-locks" and whack the hell out of the locking pliers to break it loose, it took me over 2 hours to get it off.... Tyler, if you dont have access to a vise, drop by, and we'll do it together.....
