Remove all the Phillips screws (apart from the 4 ones holding the feet) and all the Allen screws (apart from the ones holding together the panel with the audio and electrical outputs). You will also need to remove the 3 small screws at the front and the 3 screws at the very back of the player (where it says ‘Denon dj’). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24cdb5b937570001358f34/b3f37bd8-ea3c-4f77-bedd-3e91ed35b59d/6.jpeg S5000M Maintenance - Make it stand out STEP 4.3 You will be able to gently fold the pcb back and get it out of the way without removing any other cables. Take your time to check that nothing is in the way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24cdb5b937570001358f34/f74b1745-16b8-47a0-85f0-3401096718c5/7.jpeg S5000M Maintenance - Make it stand out STEP 5 Remove the electric connectors at the bottom of the motor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24cdb5b937570001358f34/334fbb30-9ab9-4a2f-ae8d-385fcbe39e7e/15+%281%29.JPG S5000M Maintenance - Make it stand out STEP 10.2 If you want to work more comfortably you can easily remove the encoder itself (2 screws, marked in blue), or you can leave it in place and just fold it back, whatever you prefer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24cdb5b937570001358f34/39024e15-16a4-4d30-9d3e-05a8f04740dc/13+%281%29.JPG S5000M Maintenance - Make it stand out STEP 9 Now that you have the motor out you need to take it apart. The casing is held together by 3 screws https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24cdb5b937570001358f34/0f4121f1-642d-471f-af08-4d3a08f01b0c/5.jpeg S5000M Maintenance - Make it stand out STEP 4.2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24cdb5b937570001358f34/1cc08c87-aafc-4fff-bfbf-939f260b1ed0/18+%281%29.JPG S5000M Maintenance - Make it stand out STEP 13 At this point you will be able to push the spindle with the rotary discs through the motor This too had a LOT more resistance than I thought - probably because of the old grease. A bit of gentle, persuasive push and pull work did the job… You have now finished the dismantling stage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24cdb5b937570001358f34/9e699da7-a61a-4f29-91ba-e62ae74f93e2/20+%281%29.JPG S5000M Maintenance - Make it stand out STEP 15 Apply the new grease onto spindle and everywhere there are mechanical parts rubbing onto each other https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24cdb5b937570001358f34/14b865d4-8a67-4752-a993-a7705b4de614/14+%281%29.JPG S5000M Maintenance - Make it stand out STEP 10 Then you need to remove the retaining bridge with the first encoder (2 screws). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24cdb5b937570001358f34/4beed1a3-c4a5-4aa7-b77d-0ad15890730b/8.jpeg S5000M Maintenance - Make it stand out STEP 6 Also remove the nearby flat connector, so you can remove the motor block that should now be free. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24cdb5b937570001358f34/1a07134a-3503-4a29-8120-9486982450b1/12+%281%29.jpeg S5000M Maintenance - Make it stand out STEP 8.1 Once you do that it will come out very easily. The motor is out! Almost there - you’re doing great. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24cdb5b937570001358f34/9021f18c-2422-405c-acb0-b60ed4a5071f/4.jpeg S5000M Maintenance - STEP 4 STEP 4 Detach the small flat cable, and remove the black tape that holds it attached to the motor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24cdb5b937570001358f34/3c45c5c1-1cff-4f33-bf84-ff0f4a2fe321/10.jpeg S5000M Maintenance - Make it stand out STEP 7 Carefully turn the player sideways (stuff may fall out!), or upside down if it’s easier, and remove the 4 Phillips screws that hold the motor in place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24cdb5b937570001358f34/27b37579-dae8-4c6c-bc28-a3f1c464c603/11.jpeg S5000M Maintenance - Make it stand out STEP 8 Put the player on its back again and pull out the motor block. There are quite a few wires that run really close to the motor’s PCB and that need to be pushed aside to get the motor out.
