Can`t pull magnet out of Stream!

[pwilk20]

My 6100 stream stopped spinning, so I left it soaking in vinegar for the past week, I`ve tried every day to pull out the magnet assembly and it won`t come out. The prop spins a quarter of a turn, no matter how hard I try, it just refuses to spin or come out. I`ve disassembled my 6060`s before without any problems, I don`t understand why this one is giving me such a hard time.

Please help,

Paul.

It is locked in with calcium. Short of sending it in you could try bracing the motor in a vice or carefully under your feet and pulling up on the prop. If the prop breaks off you can thread a deck screw into the magnet and pull on it with a pair of pliers.

Ahh, it took a long time, but I got it out. Had to plug the pump in then jank the magnet every which way untill it slid out.

I`ll make sure to clean it more often
