I couldnt get the gear box to seal together properly for the life of me.

It kept on splitting apart on me after a few short weeks.

I ended up buying 2 new motors from GM.
Working fine now (plastic gears of course tho).

What do you need glue for? I just fixed mine the other day and didn't take anything apart. I just removed one nut, turned a ****, and put the nut back on. Works great now.
