Are you using Rosin core solder? And are you tinning the wire itself 2? Maybe the hole is stripped, before you buy a new one use loctite hope this help :)

It is a good idea to "rough up" the motor tabs with a file, and pre-tin the tab, before soldering a wire onto it.

As for your pinion, make sure you are getting it on the flat spot on the armerature, use a good allen wrench, that is not stripped.

You should not have to use loc-tite, but you may have to.
