I am having a problem with a brush in a small prop pitch electric motor. I
disassembled the electric motor and replaced the beaings. When I was putting
the motor back together, I noticed that one of the brushes popped out of its
holder when I removed the armature. The other five brushes stayed in their
holders. They are spring loaded and seem to function properly. I cannot get
the one that popped out to stay in its holder. Any advice? Does anyone have a
photo of a brush? What keeps the brush in its holder?
I noticed that the bottom of the brush holders are accessable from the top of
the motor housing near the pins for electrical connections. I would think that
the holders caps would be removable for easy brush replacement but my holder
"caps" do not want to budge. Should the caps come off? I can provide photos
if anyone is interested.
Thanks!
