The "Apollo Era" material used to insulate the A&S terminals from the motor case deteriorate. When an attempt is made to address this concern without motor removal and disassembly, invariably the stud gets rotated and the brush or shunt lead is now firmly in contact with the motor case.

Hm. I did disconnect the motor once, I forgot why. Maybe I spun the brush wires inside the motor? I could probably figure out which one with either an ohmmeter or a voltmeter when under load.

How difficult is it to take apart an E20 motor anyway? Big pain, little pain?
