Yes, for that reason, I have never taken steppers apart. If they are
rough for any reason, I would just order a new one from Amazon and

Are you going to take apart the failed servo and do any kind of
failure analysis? If not, I would be willing to open and take a look.

So I bought this engine in 2008 and had the fuel system overhauled and
added five new cylinders. Knowing it was a high time engine, I put
money away over the last ten years to buy a brand new engi ...

It's a TruTrak pitch servo. It uses a cable that wraps arou ...

So I did find on Aircraft Spruce web page a Cleveland Brake Applications PDF that listed Vans RV series aircraft including the -10. It has a part breakdown of the 30-59E and listed the correct O-Rin ...
