Re: Heater Motor Lubrication
Looks as if an impact driver is on my Xmas list then, heard they are useful in a multiple amount of areas. Any recommendation on make/type ?? Although the ones I need access too are the two centre ones whose angle puts them very near the windscreen. :ok

And hammering near glass!
I would tape a piece of foam to the inside of the windscreen first.
I use a Dewalt impact driver to remove stubborn screws. Correct choice of bit is important too. Must be a very snug fit. Yet it's unlikely a straight hit in those areas.

Thanks, just been watching a video, one tip the guy made was to put a bit of valve grounding compound on the tip of the head or bit you are using as this gives a better grip in the screw hole.

Seems very robust and I wish I’d got it years ago!

However the brushes are usually worn after 30+yrs of running so worth changing the motor
That's a brilliant thread, thanks very much. Answers loads of questions and what a brilliant solution, similar to what I had in mind when I started this thread.
