Sounds good but don't congratulate yourself until it has a load on it. Even a "dead" motor frequently goes like the blazes when unloaded but as soon as it has to provide some power then vacuum leaks around the paddle and very little if anything will happen. If it works when you get it back in then congrats are in order..

If the seals on the paddle are worn some grease will make it work a short time but temperature soon liquifies or thins the grease. Air is then able to leak around the seals from the other side and results in very little pressure differential to make anything move.
