Yes

The carbon brushes you received are for omega through the entire heritage line.

Les,

And the Classic 1CR. She needs the ones that have "B75" cast into the graphite.

The classic motor is similar to the ds80 and the light bulbs are the same I forgot the carbon brushes we're different.

Les,

How best to access worn-out motor brushes on models 519 to Dual Sanitronic 80: simply pry off the metal clip for the brush holder, then the holder itself can be removed right out of its hole, no more broken terminal clips to worry about!

Issue

My issue was I fully removed all wiring. I have dropped a couple and one I tried to pop out through the groove and it got chipped.
If you take the motor out you can take the carbon brushes inside and you done have to really touch anything other than carbon brushes.
Ben how's your d80 coming along? You have all the parts?

Les,

My working D80 is still fine... just ordered a few other parts for it now.

And for Callie (sopranojam85)...

The new correct brushes are here and installed. Works great. Thanks for the guidance.

Callie,

I am glad to hear that your Dual Sanitronic 80 now runs perfectly!
