Also might look into getting someone to do them for me
The detection is probably just an issue with the windings being aweful
The screws are reasonably easy to replace
Might be bale to borrow a big gear puller from someone I will see
Be careful kiddo and try and learn! But before you take a gear puller to the motor look very carefully at the base of the motor at the hanger intersection… Look for a very difficult to see screw right here…
Take this out before you try and remove the motor.
And yeah replacing the screws is easy-peasy they’re phillips and they’re made of chesse… They strip easy…and one or more may be broken off in the motor…
Simple!
Ever removed a locktited broken screw from a motor?
before you do any of this… sit down and think for an evening… consider if you really want to dive in the pool this deep… and reconsider @Scepterr’s offer… if it was me I’d offer you about 1/2 of what Max offered you
