Can anyone tell me how to reverse the shaft of a brushless outrunner
so that the motor will mount with the main part of the motor in front
of the bulkhead please?
I have a mystery D2830-800 and have taken two grub screws out that
were securing the shaft, but nothing seems to budge. I don't want to
damage it but am not sure if the shaft should push out with some
pressure or what is supposed to happen.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem with another make and I found the shaft had been 
coated with lock tight and it had to be pushed out with some force

Many don't need to have the shaft touched. They use a prop adaptor to go on 
the back end and a drive adaptor shaped in a cross for what was the shafted 
end. The Down side is that the shaft sticks out the 'wrong' end.

Thanks Kevin, I managed to get the shaft out and refitted the other
way, but now there is nothing to hold the motor together - the shaft
is stepped at one end and had grub screws the other but now both are
at one end.

Any idea where I might get one?

a lot of motors come with this as standard

Try the original supplier or any of the electric goody suppliers - watch out 
as there are no standards on dimensions - eg puffinmodels.

I don't know your motor but you can get shafts, circlips and 
bearings from somewhere like gobrushless.com and I think 
Micron were selling some of their products.  Hillcott 
Electronics also have prop drivers and savers which might 
help you out.

Thanks Steve, I had a look at those sites but couldn't find anything
that would do. It looks as though I'll have to leave the motor as it
is and make a special mounting for it.

For the AXI 2808/24 you can get a mounting kit.
But that won't allow the use of your 4mm prop-saver.
You have to turn the prop adapter down until it becomes a prop-saver.
