Default 70 Blower Motor

The question is whether the blower motor assembly is serviceable or rebuildable? Mine squeaks when it starts up like most units 35+ years old. It would be nice if it didn't. I will have the car judged someday so I want to keep it correct.

Thanks,



Bill

I've had good results with just removing the motor & wheel fan...and just cleaning it up. A dab of lube here & there and it's quiet. Maybe yours is just full of crud...maybe the fan wheel is cracked.

I have poked a small hole (with an awl) into the end of the case and put a drop or three of some 3in 1 oil into the hole and used some tape to cover the hole up. silenced it up quite well. Peace,,,Moosie
