Schwintek slide - how to access motor / harness on 2011 unit

It's not pretty, but I got the old motor out. I bought a Dewalt metal cutting blade for my oscillating tool but it was a total fail. $30 down the dumper. In the end, I took the shroud off my angle grinder and was able hold it sort of upside down and make the vertical cut. The horizontals I did with a cutoff wheel on my Dremel.



This is the old motor. Why two wires would break at the same time is beyond me. I'm pretty sure I can clear the old solder pads and splice in new wires. Then I'll have a spare motor.
