I changed the studs because one had a stripped thread and I had a stator alignment issue that I thought must be down to slightly bent studs.

Now the stator isn't seating easily on the 3 studs, just 2. I can get the stator to mount if I remove 1 stud (the top right one), fit on the other 2 and then introduce the 3rd stud through the stator hole and into the stud thread. I'm pretty sure there's some cross-threading going on here. When I do it this way I can get the stator to mount, and I'm left with a gap to rotor from 10 o'clock to 1 o'clock and the stator is tight on the rotor at the opposite side 4 o'clock to 8 o'clock. I've tried moving the spacers which made no difference, and I don't think bigger stator holes will help this particular problem. So I think I'm going to try the gentle hammer approach (option 3). When mounted it's not out by much to be honest.

Great idea, thank you, I'll try that.

[QUOTE="M-Hawk, post: 614581, member: 14368"] I changed the studs because one had a stripped thread and I had a stator alignment issue that I thought must be down to slightly bent studs. Now the stator isn't seating easily on the 3 studs, just 2. I can get the stator to mount if I remove 1 stud (the top right one), fit on the other 2 and then introduce the 3rd stud through the stator hole and into the stud thread. I'm pretty sure there's some cross-threading going on here. When I do it this way I can get the stator to mount, and I'm left with a gap to rotor from 10 o'clock to 1 o'clock and the stator is tight on the rotor at the opposite side 4 o'clock to 8 o'clock.
