At least with the old models, if you do the hard reset, it's supposed to take whatever position the motor is currently in as it's new zero, so you're supposed to first position it at zero then do the reset. I don't know if the newer version is the same or not.
I wish that they would change the model number if they were going to completely change this motor, because now advise for one motor may not apply if you have the wrong version. :-(
However the above thing about dismantling the motor was not really related to getting the motor to return to the correct ZERO, but instead I *think* it was about getting unsymmetrical travel of the motor shaft, ie to go further east than west, or visa/versa. I think that if you did the above alteration of the motor, you'd still have to set the zero of the motor with a reset in the normal way.
