Easy! Remove through bolts. Tap tail end (not drive)loose and make a little hook from wire. Pull up each brush spring with wire and cock it off to the side so you can pull out the brushes. Pull off nose - (drive end) and pull out armature. Clean it all up with CRC Electromotive cleaner or Brake clean, which is the same thing. Clean up communtator (copper part of armature) with FLINT SANDPAPER ONLY. DO NOT use other sand paper - the grit will cause major problems. Check bushings by putting armature in ends and wiggling to see how bad they are. Replace by using cape chisel to get bushing out, press in new ones carefully. Replace brushes if needed. Install tail end by putting brushes in holders cockeyed, held in place by spring. Install armature and nose. Use hook or whatever to straighten brushes so they slide down holder and contact commutator. Reinstall through bolts, tighten, paint, and pat yourself on the back. GOOD LUCK!
