Where does one get a new brush motor?

Thank you for the photos! They’ve been helpful as I’m putting my Linx back together and can’t quite remember how the wires go back in the nozzle assembly. When putting the top plate back on, it’s a very tight fit where the top will be pushed up if maligned.

In the elbow part- It looks like the positive lead is on the left in your photo, but it would be helpful if you would add that specification to your step.

Great Job!

In my case the (low quality) wires were broken and I had to just replace the wires from the motor to the contact points in the neck.
