Replaced carbon brushes (Bosch) but motor now sparking
Had a bit of a difficult time since replacing the brushes. Motor works for a while and then starts sparking a little, then more and more until it stops altogether. Would this be symptomatic of the one or both brushes not sliding properly iand therefore creating intermittent contact as it wears down until it loses contact altogether? If so, is there a recommended solution to get them sliding freely?

The brush holders are only thin 'brass' ? plate and could easily bend and cause sticking. Check if one brush appears to stick and try to 'repair' the holder by carefully using a screwdriver to shape the housing if required. Clean the armature with fine grade abrasive paper before reuse.
