When dremelling a flat spot on the motor shaft it is a good idea to place the motor inside of a ziplock bag and poke the motor shaft through.
This will prevent any metal filings from going into the motor (being attracted by the strong magnet on the rotor).

You will need a long pinion gear. http://www.teknorc.com/
