I have a feeling that the people that get the issue to come back, simply failed to flip the gear 180.

I was meticulous about that, and before I pulled anything out, I marked up the original location of the gear, against the body. This also made me realize that when you insert the motor back into the actuator body, the gear actually turns quite a significant amount. It took me a few tries to get it to lign up 100% 180 from before I took the motor out.

I also didn't even bother taking off the plate that held the gear inside. That was the other reason to make sure it is well marked up.

When this gear dies, I will replace the gear only. While I had the motor out of the body, I inspected the brushes and the coil, everything looked great.
