Deppends on who made it...my old Blueprint driver had the basket and motor held in place by 4 screws and that was it.

Unscrew it, then just pry it up with a flathead.

Usually there are screws and you take those out, then pry the basket off of the motor. It'll take a little force since the magnetic force will probably be holding the basket in place.

DON'T put your hand under the motor though. I learned the hard way //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif Yanked the basket off and had a 50lb motor smash 3 fingers. . . it hurt //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

I took a block of wood and placed it on the pole piece and hit the basket. Popped right off.

This was on a 2002-2003 resonant engineering se10

When I dismantled my eclipse alum. It had six screws and was also glued with the motor. Use a flathead like a chisel, put the tip directly in the joint and hit it with a hammer.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Thats what I did. Then I found a block of would that fit. I laid the basket and motor over the block like a hat and hit the basket. It came right off.

I didn't need the basket anymore though...
