I performed the gear removal and regrease last year, and things have been fine until just lately... It starts to squeal and seems to struggle with turning. Here's a quick video...
Tom noise:

Any thoughts? I hope I don't need to regrease the gearbox again.

No, no work on the motor. TBH the whole thing was quite the mess to begin with.

Can you please more specific about the missing or incorrect parts?

#6 9 years ago

Hmm, Ok I'll be pulling it out and taking a closer look then. Thanks.

So, I took the gearbox all apart again, re-greased and put it back together. I also straightened out the twisting wire issue.

I got it all back together and... she's still squealing. I now think it's a motor issue, it's got to be - it's not caught up an anything.

Are there alternatives to replacing the motor? Other than buying the whole gearbox assembly I mean.

So spray the motor?

Like... in the holes? Yes, I'm a noob...

Actually, it's not just noise but it struggles to move the box when it squeals as well... not sure if cleaner would solve that.

Quoted from isJ:

Pull out the gearbox, clean gears and re-lube.

Quoted from pintechev:

I would actually send the motor and gearbox to Kim:

Yes, I think this is the way to go. I have made contact and am just looking at a few last things before I decide whether to send it off or buy the motor myself.
