[GreenKeys] LIMU-3 question

[Duncan Brown]

John,

There is a NC relay that switches the cap out once the motor gets up to 
speed, so first thing is to check the relay contacts.

You are not likely to find a new starting capacitor the same physical 
size, so just cut the leads to the bad capacitor and outboard a new one.

Good Luck!

So removed motor from its base to see 20 lbs of stuff  in a 10 lb container.  How do I get the cap out.  Do I have to bend parts?  Perhaps squeeze the sides together?  Maybe pry the relay out first?
