He has the motors, the tools, the experience and the expertise to do the job.
Definitely second using Frank Timko. I tried to remove the worm gear but could see it was only bending the gear puller. I send Frank my motor. He sent back a new motor with my flywheel and worm in about 2 weeks. It cost less than buying a used one.
