I suppose that the experts have a better way to deal with the problem but the following worked for me.
A couple of days ago I took my 1950 Champion heater motor apart enough to replace the two wires that extend out of it because the insulation on them was cracking off. While doing this I pulled the end a little too far out and the brushes came out of place. The case is sealed so I needed some way to get to the brushes to hold them in place while I put the motor back together. I drilled two 1/8th inch holes in the end of the case near each of the brushes. I then ran a thread in and around the wire that is attached to each brush and then ran the end of the thread out the same hole and pulled the two ends of the thread until the brush was all the way back in place. I then used tape to hold the two ends of the thread to the outside of the case. I did this for both brushes and then the motor could be put back together. I then took the tape off, took hold of one end of each of the threads and pulled it out of the case. I then sealed the two holes. The motor works fine. Just thought this might help someone sometime since I am always asking for help
