Gyre XF280 Disassembly

[Syntax1235]

Hello,

I'm starting up another tank after about a 3 year break. I plan on using a Maxspect Gyre XF280; however, I have to replace the motor block due to some urchin damage to the wire. I can't seem to figure out how to separate the motor block from the magnet mount that it is attached to. Anyone know how to do this?

I believe it should slide out or that mount pulls apart?

The XF280 is built differently than the other two in the series. The magnet mount is a single piece. I’ve tried banging it on the counter while holding the motor block with no luck.
None of the Coral Vue videos show the dismantling of the 280….. i can’t find videos on YouTube either, very odd.

Have you reached out to CoralVue?

Yes. I sent them an email on Friday. In the meantime, I was hoping someone here may have experience with the breakdown of the 280.

i guess I’ll find out soon enough.

Do you have the new motor block now? Maybe the mount comes with this version of the motor block? Do you have a pic from the back side?

I just received confirmation from Coral Vue that the Motor Block and the magnet mount are a single unit. Hopefully, this thread will help others.

I had a feeling that was the case. Thanks for sharing.
