How do you take out the motor on er 430k hair trimmer

Steve Imber those motors are relatively low torque so a misaligned or dirty blade could stop it. See if cleansing the blade will help this. If not then take the trimmer apart right down to the motor and check the connections for corrosion and clean all of it. Panasonic ER430K

I have the same issue with mine, which seems to be due to a bad motor because the shaft still doesn’t spin well even after taking the blade assembly off the top. So, how to remove the motor for repair? The screw at the bottom removes the lower housing, under which is a metal bar. How best to remove that? I suspect the parts within are fragile, so I want to proceed carefully...
