I did at one time .I removed the motor and tried to buy new brushes but no one sells them .So I went to the auto parts store and bought a set for an alt and I cut them to fit .They have been in use for several years now .

I've never replaced brushes before. "alt" means alternator right? What kind/model did you buy, or are they universal? How much did you have to cut them? I Wonder if power tool brushes would work.

Thanks for the help.
