I was removing the brush holder, dropped a screw. I would have thought the screw would have stuck to one of the magnets The motor was spinning freely before this happened. now it is not spinning. A quarter turn is as far as it goes. I have the motor stripped of everything I can remove. Snap ring removed.
Along with dust/lint I found three small nuts m4/5 on top of the magnets. The brush holder has a broken positive post which I could replace now that the brush holder is off the motor. The brushes and commutator look good.
Found the screw lodged between the magnet/case of the motor and the rotor windings.I will need to remove the rotor to remove the screw and check for damaged insulation. would a three jaw puller work or would I need to get it pressed out?
Later floyd
