Hi

My mount uses a SS2K controller and motor set to drive it. Recently the Ra motor has been binding in reverse. So I swapped it with the dec motor but it still shows the same problem. I have another pair on another mount I could swap it with but that means removing one of the mounting ears to make it fit. 

Has anyone any advice on taking apart and servicing this type of DC servo motor before I start ? The encoder head and brushes are held in by punched tabs, for example, is there a good way of releasing these? I am expecting either wear on the brushes or gear wear that will need cleaning and regreasing. Anyone done this ?

Cheers

Mike
