Stuart - I am strongly averse to drilling holes that may promote rust. when I replaced the spent motor I took an extra step for preventative maintenance. before I mounted the new motor in the box I put a small blob of petrol jelly on the driver's side shaft/bearing end. then I epoxied a plastic cap that just fit to keep the grease in and dust out. h t h mike ________________________________ From: Stuart MacMillan <stuartmacm@GMAIL.COM> To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Sent: Monday, April 8, 2013 3:27 PM Subject: Re: Heater fan CHIRP! I can't find Karl's original post anywhere, but I found enough comments and pics in the Samba thread to figure it out. Worth a try. Thanks for the info everyone! Stuart |
