    Ok. So after my last post I got curious to see that I didn't lead you awry.

    Bad motor out of Noir's left front flippie.



    In this pic. you will see two screws (at 10 and 4 o'clock) that you need to pull. And you might notice why this motor died. Note hole in raised portion just to the left of where the wires come out of the black cover. And yes, I am allergic to manual labor. Hence Makita!



    Inside you find the three contacts and the wheel. Clean wheel and get some die-electric grease and lightly coat it. Re-tension the three contacts (don't over bend. you might move them enough to have them not tracking the corrct line of the wheel) and put back together.



    I got in touch with my inner KFJ just now. I feel GOOD! Dana-na-na-na! HTH!
