Subject:      Re: Dreaded Squeal of Death from Heater Fan Motor
Comments: To: keepsake@PANGEA.CA

Roy; No where on the can of WD-40 will you find the word "lubricant" (pet peeve). I have seen more things ruined by WD-40. It will tend to wash any existing lubrication out. My fan was also squeaking but has since stopped. I probably just jinxed myself! Drive Safely & Good Luck Ken Lewis<Kernersville,NC>86 VW crewcab;60 T-5 Coupe
