Roy says it's time to replace the motor. Seeing these photos let's me know just what I am getting into.

Not plug and play, but an afternoon project.
Good luck with your repair project. It's nice that Noob had all the pictures for you to check out before you decided to tackle the job. Are you going to go back to the clamp after the repairs. I still use mine. Jack
