Windshield washer motor, rebuildable? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My windshield wipers are dragging a little worse every day.
Seem to work OK if the windshield is actually wet, but drags really bad when dry and I think this is a sign of deminshing performance.
I have lubed all the pivot points liberally and this helped but I'm thinking I need to resurface the armature and maybe install new brushes.
New motor is expensive $165 unless someone knows good source thats less expensive.
I have rebuilt starters and altenators, but not a windshield wiper motor.
Questions
1) Is it rebuildible?
2) Is it worth the trouble?
3) Anyone on this forum done it successfully?

Thanks for Replys.
