Due to limited mobility, flexibility and increasing agony, removing the motor
is not in my list of capabilities. Florida is lacking in folks with this sort
of skill, although a local wrench has offered to research the process. I've not
heard from him for a week, though. The Rav4EV forum isn't responsive to my
search for resources either. There's a Tesla third-party shop about 70 miles
away, but he'd declined to replace the OBC and probably would decline a motor
removal and rebuild.
With less than six months remaining before we can drop to a single vehicle, a
motor repair would mean a better resale price, but the car would still be
dropped from the fleet. My lack of mobility also means that I haven't yet
checked mine for coolant sprinkles on the speed sensor. I have to wait until
the temperatures reach butter-melting levels and it will still take me a half
hour to get down to ground level and back up again. I just realized that the
thrift shop body hoist may get a new use.

FYI, I forgot to mention, you can drop the Tesla drive unit and replace the
bearings in there to get rid of the milling noise. I have done it.
Sadly it doesn't last forever because of a flaw in the design that was fixed in
later revisions, but I've seen them do 60k miles.
The Rav4EV is still a better car than a powerwall.
