Try looking for an opening in the spindle motor and send in a tiny
blast of wd40.Treat the spindle shaft/motor bush similarly. These
motors are fairly cheap and easy to find.


WD40 is about the worst thing you can use on motor bearings. It is
essentially to release seized parts, and makes a very poor bearing lubricant
as it is too thin and strips any existing lubrication away. Any benefits are
very short term and wear will be accelerated in the longer term.

Far better is a light oil designed for electronic servicing. Even DIY shop
light oil like 3 in 1 is better than WD40, and that's rubbish as it tends to
gum up tiny bearings. WD40 tends to migrate as well- it will end up in
places it can do more harm than good.
