Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. It is possible the metal shavings got wedged between the gears, or the CIM gears which were stripped didn't mesh with the output gear. Also, when I said it locked up, I meant it provided heavy resistance and wouldn't turn over without seizing.

Greased with a high pressure lithium grease, as I have come to find out.
