I found the hammer trick to work, too. I finally removed the motor, disassembled it, and cleaned the commutator and brush holders. Its worked perfectly ever since. These little motors are mounted in a hostile environment, so moisture, heat and dirt can take their toll.
Jagtech , did you grease the bearing lands before putting the motor back together, and what did you use??
Yes, I used some molybdenum grease. Don't know if that's the recommended lube, but it's been fine for a couple of years. Also, I found it easier to reassemble the motor if the brushes are removed with the retaining clips and installed last.
