Has anyone seen an issue where the bearing that the hybrid motor shaft sits in gets unseated? it's happened now a couple times on me and wondering if there is something larger that could be wrong. Last time it happened, I just took off the hybrid belts, unmounted the motor in question, got it reseated and the bolted everything back together. Anyone have thoughts on why this could be happening and steps to potentially find a more permanent fix?

thx.

Use a bit of blue loctite around the outside edge of the bearing to hold it in place. Be careful not to get it where the actual balls are though. The gluestick version of blue loctite is great for this
