Trim/Tilt Motor Brush Replacement

[Swarlos]

I need to replace the brushes in the trim/tilt motor of my 2000 Mercury 30hp 2 stroke outboard. I tried looking it up on the parts list of the website, but it doesn't seem to go past buying a new trim motor. Can anyone point me in the right direction to getting some replacements? The trim motor is original to the outboard, so I assume it's https://www.marineengine.com/newparts/part_details.php?pnum=MER827675A+1, but I can't find any markings that identify the trim motor to confirm it.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hard to believe that brushes can be worn out on tilt motor.

Well, to be more specific, one of the brush springs failed. I spent a long time looking for replacement springs, but the best I could do was the same design, but way too large.

On the left of the picture are the old springs, in the middle is the closest I could get on my own, followed by the package the new ones came in. I don't know if Leeson is the name of the design or the manufacturer.
