I asked about finding a source for a replacement motor in this thread… > [@Delco electric window motor, coupling and drive cable](http://59plymouth.net/t/delco-electric-window-motor-coupling-and-drive-cable/109/1): > > MopPar P/N 1810 682. My (frozen) motor is stamped 504435, but I think that’s a Delco number. Also, the rubber coupling is chewed to heck – It’s one piece with the drive cable, MoPar P/N 1810 641. Dan Alas, no nibbles, at least, no inexpensive ones. Last night I decided to remove the star gear on the end of the shaft, by gently tapping down on the shaft with two splints of wood under the gear; not only did the gear slide off, but the housing separated easily while I was tapping! (The long bolts had been removed.) Apart from some inside rust, I can see that the brushes are in good shape; so’s the field magnets and the armature. I’m thinking I can fix this puppy myself! The oil-impregnated bearings have lost their lubricant, and are binding on the shaft; I’ll put some lightweight oil on these and keep them lubricated. And the commutator needs a good cleaning. But I bet it will run again! The problem is further disassembly. The backing plate that holds the brushes appears to be pop-riveted to the bottom of the can. I’m thinking I’ll drill these out, remove the armature from the assembly to clean the commutator, and reassemble using small bolts. What do you think? Anything I need to watch out for, would you do anything differently? Any advice greatly appreciated… I think I’ll take some pix as I go along.
