May be able to reuse the rotor if it doesn’t have any damage to the surfaces. All the rebuilds I have watched (I’m rolling my eyes at myself at this point) they have actually put in new bearings in the rotor and use a special tool (I don’t know how to describe it other than like an espresso tamp but for a bearing). Have no idea about the other stuff though. I think as long as the e shaft isn’t bent or super scratched, I would use it, but I haven’t ever rebuilt a motor 😂

I wouldn't reuse that eshaft. Do it right or do it again...

Are you sure all the other parts are within the tolerance?

Measure everything, and then decide if you just want to get a reman. You could put everything back together and still use that engine as a core.

Your right I'll have to be more patient and it would save me money in the long run
