Another screechy Sharp GF-9797 motor. Might have to be used in a Sharp GF-9191.
I ended up oiling the bearings with machine oil...sparingly. The motor pulley seemed to have been glued on. It was removed with a heat gun, which took a few minutes. I only attempted to take the motor apart as a last resort, since I was not sure that I would be able to put it back together again. I have tried out the motor, but have not yet put the motor pulley back on permanently. Care must be taken not to bend the contacts.
Tool and materials used: machine oil, needle nose pliers without teeth (2 spoons could also be used to remove the pulley), a screwdriver, and a toothpick. Hot glue or all-purpose glue will probably be used to put the motor pulley back on.
