Hello to everyone from Bulgaria.
The rotor on my CDL had a burnt coil. I gave it for rewinding at a shop, and after that for a year it was operating not properly - slow and stopping responding from time to time.
Yesterday I dismantled the CDL, rewound the rotor and installed it. It took me half a day.
Unfortunately I did not take photos, since I was alone and in a hurry.
Thanks for all the threads and information!
Some input from my experience, which might be useful:
1. I managed to dismantle the CDL without lowering the gearbox support with jack. You need to unscrew the eight bolts half the way out. This allows to put your hands between the CDL and body and to unscrew the four bolts holding it to the transfer case. Tricky but possible with a 12mm wrench.
2. Instructions how to rewind the rotor I found in a Russian Toyota forum. I am attaching some photos. Even in Russian, the photos are quite clear and understandable.
The original wire is 0.43mm, but 0.4mm is fine.
Each coil hac 62 turns.
The end of the last coil should pass to the beginning of the first coil and they are soldered together.
Just to add, that this was my first attempt to rewind an electric motor.
The result is significantly better response, shorter time for lock and unlock.
