I disassembled all my motors after one snapped the armature shaft. I cleaned out the old grease and relubed them. Bob Aller made an extra brass bushing where the worm shaft enters the gear compartment. He claimed the casting was made to hold a bushing there but they cheated on assembly. I don't have a lathe to do that but I see what he was talking about. There is a recess to hold a bushing which would relieve the strain on the shaft that causes them to break. This would make for a sturdier unit.
