-[* black] The image shows one of the bush housings. Note there is a copper coloured inner liner, which can be removed by pressing the metal tab (blue arrow) through the hole in the black plastic casing (yellow arrow). With the liner removed the cable to the bush can be turned 90 degrees and removed through a hole on the other side (not shown).
-[* black] In my case, the carbon (graphite) bush had broken up and was mostly missing, so that it was not possible to see what type it was. (also the spring was free to rattle around and may have caused the slight damage to the commutator)
-[* black] Ideally, the carbon bush should incorporate a stop, such that when worn out, the spring and other parts cannot damage the commutator.
