I disagreed, so I went ahead and JB Welded it. The good news is the
epoxy held, even though it squeezed out of a previously invisible
hairline fracture in the plastic shaft that was clearly the problem.
Bad news is there were two shouldered rubber gaskets with plastic
washers inside them fixed (or so I thought) on the shaft. Once I
cleaned the shaft there was no more grease to hold them on the shaft
and they escaped. I have no idea how they were oriented on the shaft
and the online parts manual shows a different (updated?) sealing
mechanism.
So I need to buy a new motor anyway because no matter how I orient the
seals, it leaks. Bah.
