• Remove the rear service panel
• Find the auger motor and remove the wire terminals from the motor
• The set screw that hold the motor to the auger is a 1/4" allan key, loosen this screw and the feed motor should slip out of the auger shaft.

The auger end plate bushing is a crucial part that contribute to the overall life of your feed motor. Always replace this bushing when replacing a feed motor. Replace the auger bushing if dust from the hopper is leaking past the bushing into the mechanical cabinet.
