Ray's honest he didn't pull it unless he absolutely had to And change the resistor it's always good to change them in pairs you never know if one specially to blow a motor locking up it'll overload the resistor and it's just a matter of time to till it Trashes out then you got to come back then you have to fix it for free the way to do stuff is send it out the door right and if you see the customer for another repair knot associated to that that's great but come back work when a job's not done right it just cost you time and money have a good day
