To get at the motor brushes you will need to do the following: 1. Remove the motor as one brush is on the bottom. Remember, or better yet mark the top of the motor for later replacement. 2. CAREFULLY remove the spring clips ( one on top, one on bottom). The brushes are held in with a SMALL spring between the spring clip and the brush. This spring is what keeps the brush pressed against the comutator for the electrical contact. Once you have the brushes out they are round and will have a concave on the end where it contacts the comutator and a slot on the end where the spring touches it. In a new motor the brushes are about 1/8" to 1/4" long. If you need to replace them I can mail you a pair. E-mail me at basman24@yahoo.com. Hope this helps. Terry Mathys Arlington, TX
