Did you measure the free speed and free current, CW and CCW, before and after? Are they still within CIM specs?

The best way to remove doubt is to show data.

Whenever you take something apart and put it back together it will always be a little different.

The rule does not say functionally the same, it says modify.

Thus I suggest Q&A ... and I'll almost be willing to bet they'd say that a motor that was disassembled and then reassembled will be considered modified.
