I screwed up royally by pulling the shifter motor off and removed the shaft and commutator from the spring-loaded brushes. I fought for hours under the 4-wheeler to reassemble. i used some thin wires to help hold the brushes back during reassembly, only to break a wire off inside the motor housing once reassembled. As stated before, I fought this for 3 good hours and was fed up and didn’t want to disassemble it to pull out the small wire left behind. Because i knew the fight i was in for. I did remove the correct plate that exposed the gears and lubed them accordingly and reassembled everything. Only to find it will not shift up or down and there is now no noise at all from the motor trying to engage. I assume the motor may be locked up (or possibly shorted) from the wire left behind?!?! I don’t know.
My question: Is there an easier way to reassemble this motor next time when i go back in to retrieve the wire??? That was a nightmare. Thanks for any help in Advance.
