Darn.

I feel comfortable doing it, however I would feel more comfortable if I could see a video (YouTube or something) and watch someone else doing this? Can someone please post one if you have it?

Do I want to completely remove all wiring and then re-wire the thing?
I’m having trouble wrapping my head around what is wrong with the coil. I’m guessing one of the turns in the wire (because they are so thin) separated or something? So that instead of 1 continuous wire, you would now have essentially 2? Is that what we are talking about when you say the coil is ‘OPEN’?

Also, are these the stepsIcon_confused?
-Unsolder all 6 soldered leads
-unbolt coil and remove from chassis
-count/document/take pictures of etc. Coil and wiring as well as number of winds (I know this is extremely important)
-remove wire
-maybe clean if dirty?
-re-wire
-re-place
-re-solder

Missing anything?
