Anyone changed the brush set on the 2-speed type?

I've had the same problem on two separate motors - when the motor casing =
is tightened up to the gearbox casing the armature binds very badly, =
I've had to put a small washer in one particular place to angle the two =
casings slightly.

With the second one I even refitted the old brush set and it ran just =
fine (the brushes ARE well worn and the motor has become very reluctant =
to get going after not being used for some time), but with the new one =
refitted it was binding again.

Also comparing the old and new brush sets although there is obviously =
significantly more carbon on the new compared to the old, the springs =
don't push the backs of the brushes to anywhere near the position of the =
old brushes, which means that although the business end of the new =
brushes do stick out further than the old brushes, it is only just =
further, so they won't wear very much at all before they fail to make =
contact.
