I doubt it happened removing the motor. There is a screw that was removed in the photo which had a small gear under it which I assume holds the magnet on. That was in there but there was no magnet attached just a bunch of pieces in there. It looks like it spun for a while with the debris in there (which makes sense because we had a short drive home at 4 MPH after it happened) so while it is possible it really seems like to me that happened while it was in the cart and hopefully was the cause of the noise. I am going to mount the motor back in there with all of that off just to see if that eliminated the noise and verify that the only problem I have left is the speed sensor.
