Success! I had a dead motor, now it's running very nicely! :text-thankyouyellow:
The simple suggestion of using a nail was very helpful. After I got the bushing back in place, the nail helped me rotate the bushing so that I could bend-back the tines almost flat. By the time I got to the last tine it was holding the bushing pretty tight. After having cleaned everything the armature rotates freely, so I'm going to hold-off on the epoxy.
I appreciate the instructions for soldering, that's a clever method that I never would have though of! When that's done successfully I'm sure it is better than epoxy. But it's good to know your limitations, and I'm pretty sure I've got a better chance of success with epoxy. :D
