Yea, you can replace most parts on a loco. Is this a spring that holds the brush. Look at the one on the opposite side of the motor and match it . Alot of parts will interchange with different loco manufacturers. I use springs from Athearn motors in many different locos. If I replace need to replace a spring, I replace both as a set where you get the same tension on each brush. Also, replace the brushes if worn down any and use fine sand paper to clean any grooves off of the communtator or place where hte brushes ride on the motor. Try the loco manufacturers web site first. If the unit is not really outdated, you should be able to get parts.
