i was using vice grips to hold the part of the armature shaft that the top bearing sits on and now there is a nick in the shaft and the motor will not run with out locking up. What Do I Do!!!! |

You're probably going to have to replace the armature unfortunately. I once did a similar thing by making the mistake of using pliers to hold the shaft so I could unscrew the cooling fan. The motor still ran but sounded horrible. |
