It would have been "nice" if iFixIt could have provided info (ie. part/model number) for the motor.

Great tutorial on how to take it apart. I'm having trouble finding the exact replacement, at least according to the numbers on the motor. Can someone verify what the correct replacement model number is? Also, is it possible to replace it with a brushless motor?
