It had slowed down a bit and was getting noisy so I did a tear down, found the old gear teeth had worn to sharp points and the old grease had turned into glue.
I’ve replaced the planet bearings and metal gears (which I’ve lightly sanded to remove any burrs) and will be reassembling within the next week or so.
The motor feels awesomely solid and well built, everything fits snugly and the motor part looks brand new despite 1000s of km...
