Re: Help what is this?

It can be pretty hard to put brushes back into motors. I've tried, with very little success, on brush magnets similar to those. You have to place the brushes pretty precisely for them to work properly. And getting them to stay still long enough for something to hold them in place is darn near impossible with those springs.

The motor I tried on was an R/C engine starter motor.
