Did you originally have the card reader connected before replacing the drive wheel, and was it blowing fuses then? I'm wondering if this new wheel is creating too much friction.

No, I didn't. The drive wheel looked so bad that I thought I try to replace it first, before connecting the OCR. Fore sure it would have been a good idea to try to connect the OCR just with the old wheel removed.
