Assembly
1. Press a new bearing into the motor housing and
install the circlip.
2. Install the two brush assemblies so that the brushes
are just far enough out of the brush holder so that
the brush springs hold them in place away from
the commutator. See the illustration to the right.
3. Install the rear motor housing to the stator housing.
4. Lightly grease the inside diameter of the armature
bearing.
5. Carefully insert the armature through the stator
housing and onto the motor bearing in the rear
housing.
6. While supporting the inner race of the bearing,
press the armature into the bearing.
7. Push the motor brushes into the brush holder until
the brush spring snaps into place. Be certain that
the spring does not rest up against the brush wire.
See the illustrations below.
8. Install the brush cover.
