How to find brushes in treadmill motor (Proform PF 3.8)

in Treadmill Problems
My treadmill has been slowing down (a lot) and I'd like to check the motor brushes. Every video I have seen seems to suggest that treadmill motors have easily accessible brushes through ports on the side with removable covers. Mine does not (Model: Proform PF3.8, Motor P/N: 238787). Here are photos of the front and the back:

Any advice on where to find and how to access the brushed would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

    hello!
    if there are no access plugs or covers, you will have to completely disassemble the motor to get to them. do you have your model number - I can look up a diagram for you!

    Hi many thanks for taking the time to reply!
    The Label says Motor model A17280M051.
    If you could find a diagram that would be amazing.
    Thank you :)

    Hi sorry I can only see Proform PF 3.8 on the machine. Don't worry about the diagram I'll just try and disassemble what I can see slowly. Many thanks for your help.

    hey sorry - thought we answered earlier and just reread the whole thread!

    They are located on each side of motor, there is a little plastic door on each side and the brushes are inside there.
