E series How did you take your rainbow e series apart? Do you have a manual? I've got a few pieces off mine but can't see where any other screws are to completly take apart to be able to look at motor. Thanks Kelly

The clear lenses on either side of the top part of the E-series Rainbow are removable. If you look at the each lens you will see two sections on the top edge of each lens that looks like this |___| |___| about 1 1/2 inches in from each end. Put a small screwdriver in the middle of each one of these (I used 2 screwdrivers at once) and pry out. The clips will come undone and you can remove the lens this way, exposing the screws which hold the motor cover on. On my E-2, there were 4 screws under here, and once I removed them, the top came right off.
I don't have the manual. I never could get to the actual motor. I just cleaned it out and changed the belt and it has been working fine ever since.
