“Well, now I’ve gone and done it!” Flap motor installed but I decided I would see what folks were talking about with flap motor/gearbox grease causing problems. While trying to put the motor back together I managed to break one of the carbon brushes trying to get it back in its little hole! $389 for whole flap motor assembly, $89.00 for replacement motor from Allied Electronics (http://www.alliedelec.com/search/productdetail.aspx?SKU=3880012), no luck on just the brush holder and brushes so far.
Anyone else had to replace the brush holder and brushes or complete flap motor?
Can I get away with replacing just the motor?
Thanks,

Allen,
The motor doesn't look like the exact same thing. It may be functionally, but I would be wary of the size. Also, I think that the little gear on the end will be your biggest problem.
If the motors are enough alike, you can take the brush assy from the new motor and use it on the original....just a thought.
I've had to clean mine already too - so I know what a bugger it can be.

I've heard that Home Depot has brushes, but never looked for them. If the brushes aren't an exact match, they can be carefully sanded to size .... carefully, as you well know!!! Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.

No can do. It involves photos, which won't post. I actually saved it all as a pdf file, which won't post either. I'll send you a copy off list.

Harry,
Here is some of the info. There is actually an early and a late flap motor. Vans changed vendors in 2002. The whole story on that can be found here.
http://www.vansaircraft.com/pdf/flap_motor.pdf
You can find lots of info on the flap motors here

Thanks Charlie! ....
Allen, I've had really good luck replacing motor brushes by making a tube of thin plastic ..... 6 mil stuff from the hardware store .... and wrapping it around the commutator and then sliding the brush assembly down over the plastic tube. Keeps the brushes from hitting the end of the commutator and breaking.
Take it slow and rock the brush assembly a little while using a thin pick to push the brushes into their pockets while sliding the assembly over the commutator.
