Tom,
This is not a legal repair. However, if you assemble the brush/endplate assy to the armature prior to installing the armature in the motor housing, your step is not needed. For those who are attempting this repair, the magnets will try to draw the armature into the housing, so a device will be needed to control the attraction. I found that a wooden swab works for this purpose.
Pat,
The inductor you link to is only 400 ma, there are others in that package that are 900-950 ma. They are non-stock on the Mouser website so you will need to find another source.
