Re: AM Fisher Price planetary problem

One of the five planet gears is seized to its pin. The rest spin freely. We bought these assembled as gearmotors and everything was tight. We did get the seized pinion off its pin in one of them but mangled it doing so - it was really seized. The gearmotor spins freely with the 4 remaining planets in place but we don't really want to run it that way under load.
