Claim 0:
1. A method of using a downhole motor comprising a stator and a rotor, the method comprising:
disposing the rotor within a cavity defined by the stator, the stator having at least one lobe and having a first end disposed closer to a first end of the rotor than to a second end of the rotor longitudinally opposite the first end of the rotor and a second end of the stator longitudinally opposite the first end of the stator disposed closer to the second end of the rotor than to the first end of the rotor, the rotor having at least one lobe;
passing a fluid through the cavity defined by the stator to rotate the rotor;
at least one of removing the rotor from the downhole motor and removing the stator from the downhole motor;
reversing a longitudinal direction of the stator in a drill string; and
disposing the rotor into the cavity defined by the stator or disposing the stator over the rotor such that the first end of the rotor is closer to the second end of the stator than to the first end of the stator and the second end of the rotor is closer to the first end of the stator than to the second end of the stator.
