Did you install new brushes or just clean up the existing? What are some signs that you need new brushes vs clean up existing brushes?
You're quite welcome! In this case, I installed new brushes. The main reason to install new brushes versus cleaning the old ones is wear; this will manifest itself as a loss of power, excess sparking and, finally, when the brushes are too short for proper contact, motor failure.
