[ARC5] BC-348 DYNAMOTOR

[Mike Hanz]

They are most likely simply stuck because of corrosion between the 
carbon brush and brass sleeve, John.  It's a common condition.  If you 
can reach the brushes where they contact the armature, just push them 
gently in in both the x and y axis with a wood dowel or other soft 
material while pulling gently on the wire out of the back of the brush.  
They usually pop loose with some gentle nudging.  Just try not to gouge 
the soft copper of the commutator in your efforts.
