I have fished for an hour with a 3 inch long screw but no luck.

If I use a focused light beam and a mirror I can look down the screw holes and see what looks like a open area longer than the short screw length that ends in a flat plate?

I have tried to dig into the retainer plate in order to pivot it around on its shaft hoping to reveal the threads. I have tried to dig on it to raise it while trying to find threads with the longer screw. No luck yet.

Should it pivot around - and the screw threads will reveal themselves that way?

Is it hard to move the bearing retainer because motor weight is bearing down on it?

If I were to push the cart around in this condition will it wreck the motor?
