Has anyone ever changed one of these motors and is it a DIY job. I would be glad of any advise jim

I did a google search and found a website http://www.grahamvideos.co.uk they have a video for download that demonstrates the job from start to finish. As you correctly said ‘two screws - two wires’ job done. About two weeks ago I had a quote from a plumber, you wouldn’t believe what he said it would cost..! Once again thank you for your help jim99
