T&T: Eberspacher dismantling help needed

[Gale Plummer]

There is a real trick to cleaning the slinger.  There are very small holes
located on the circumference of the device.  They are key to startup.  They
can be seen with a magnifier where the two parts of the slinger are spot
welded together on the inside edge.  I use SS safety wire to clean them. 
Amazing how much carbon falls out onto a white towel.  Soaking etc. did not
get it.

Time to consult
the list! I have an Eberspacher D7L (12 volt) that appears
totally dead when I
try to start it. No fan, no noise at all. It had
previously been working. I
decided to take the opportunity to dismantle it and
give it a good clean
(there was no obvious external problem) with the hope
that I found the problem
during that process. I have managed to remove the
casing. The next obvious
move appeared to be to remove the six nuts that
looked as though it would
allow the two major parts to be separated. Having
removed the nuts however, I
can move the two pieces apart by about a quarter
of an inch (not far enough
for the studs to clear the holes) before something
internal prevents any
further separation. There are no more obvious things to
remove, so the
question is "What have I missed?"

There must be a lot of these still out
there, so hopefully there are also some
people who know how these work and how
they come apart!
