Hi all,

I have the dreaded squeaky blower motor in my brick. It's okay. I'm not ready to replace it, and instead want to try the stop-gap method of lubricating the bushings in the blower motor shaft.

I've read helpful instructions how to do it on this board and elsewhere. I imagine it will take me 2 hours, since I'm a bit slow.

What sort of oil/lubricant should I use? I've seen recommendations ranging from spray lubricant to oil-can drip, and I'm unsure which to use beyond recognizing that it needs to penetrate the bushings.

I have WD-40 and Triflow (a lubricant with light viscosity http://www.lubricant.com/Superior_Drip/superior_drip.html ). I would lean toward the Triflow, but I thought I'd ask the gurus if I should buy something else. Thanks for your time.

SQUEAK!

PS "brick" means "bridge" in Yiddish.
