anyone work on an electric motor?

my electric motor head seal rotted and water got into the housing and the bearing rusted.  anyone every do any work like this on theirs?  like some pointers.

thanks riz

Riz, what type of motor?
 
I have a min-kota 36lb. thrust that's 23 yrs. old. Every so many years I open it up to check the condition, cut out TONS of mono the dang thing picks up on the driveshaft under the prop (that can cut up your seals), clean up comm. end of armature, grease bushings, etcccccccc.............
 
That motor doesn't owe me a dime. Preventive maintenence really paid off for me. OTH

Riz, there's a wealth of places on the internet.
 
Is there a starter and alternator rebuilding shop in your area? From personal experience, they USUALLY will have a good selection of bearings and bushings cheap. For the seals, try an auto parts shop.   OTH

Tackle Unlimited on rt 51 fixes electric motors. havent been there in about a year. i ASSUME theyre still open.

yes, the ride sucks. 51 is as bad as it gets imo. only reputable repair shop i know of. good luck.
