Grinder would run, but overheated, and developed no power

A new armature fixed it. Access the armature by removing the rear grinder housing ( 1 screw). It may take a little wiggling to get it off. The only \"trick\" to removing the old armature is to relieve the spring pressure on the brushes before trying to pull the armature out. The entire job took maybe 15 minutes.
