Brush Replacement
- Pry back each brush spring with a screwdriver, then position the brush about halfway out of its holder, and release the spring to hold it in position. SeeFig 1
.
- Install armature in housing and install brush holder. Next, pry back each brush spring again and push the brush down until it seats against the commutator. Release spring against the end of the brush. See Fig 2
.
- To seat new brushes, slip a strip of 500 or 600 grit sandpaper between the commutator and each brush, with the grit side up. Smoothly rotate the armature. The contact surface of the brushes will be sanded to the same contour as the commutator.
