This is exactly what we did. With the same gear and same motor the OP was referring to. Works like a charm if you're careful. I'd suggest using a larger vise that's hard-mounted. We used the corner of the vise to ensure that only the shaft was in contact with the vise, and not motor body, spade connectors, or bearing.
