So, I bought a JVC BR-S822DXU with some issues. My friend Barry777 on tv-forums helped me to get it to a pretty much running condition. He also told me about this forum and Ed from TX, who might be an überhacker of the hardware persuasion.

I guess ask barry, he'll tell you I'm nuts 'cause I treat everything like farm equipment....but I can bring most mechanical anything back to life.

At this point I've been getting capstan and supply reel errors. I dropped the mechanism, and pulled the capstan and disassembled it, and lubed the bearing that was failing by soaking it in kerosene for ten hours.

I want to do the same thing to the lefthand motor, but I'm not sure how to disassemble it. I'd go in all 'Hero Of The Day', but I don't want to break it.

Ideas?
