I work for Crown and we always replace the drive unit with a new or remanufactured one instead of rebuilding them. My boss don't allow us to rebuild them. Not cost effective, even for our full maintenance accounts where we pay the bill. It also comes with a 1 year warranty. Most of the time when I see these fail, it is because the operators are bulldozing pallets. This always tears up these drive units. They try to push 5 or more pallets causing hard stress on the motor and the drive unit. Usually the drive unit goes first.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
