'Quick Fix' for blower motor 200 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be JWT on  Wed Dec 10 18:13 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I read the old posts too and last fall I tore my '85 apart and sprayed lubricant at the blower motor. No holes for me I took the housing all apart. About a month ago I tore it apart again having bought new bearings($6), as indicated in one of the posts, because the noise was coming back. This time I actually removed the motor and found that the lubricant I sprayed last year really didn't penetrate much because of the way the motor is sealed. It also will not take the bearings I bought as it is a different style motor than the 70's early 80's(?). I lubricated the motor with a very light weight oil while running it for short periods with jumper leads off of the battery. There was no significant wear as shown in some of the posts where the fan blades have been chewed up from rubbing the housing. Put it all back together and it sounds good, better than last year for sure. Doing it this way is basically an all day job though.
