Absolutely correct. I recommend getting the kit with the slip ring and the top bearing. I'd like to see the equivalent for the Bosch.
That said, I did a brush only refresh but swapped the polarity of the brushes so the other slip ring can take over the job off being abused. I plan to do some periodic checks to see how the fix is working.
