Default headlights sticking? easy fix?

i was reading in another thread about someone having problems with headlight motor running. my left on and sometimes my right one get stuck about half way through and i have to go push them the rest of the way. so if i change the motor bushing would that help my problem? or do i have to buy new ones? and if it is the bushing where do i find it?

Have done a couple of headlight doors & both times all I needed was the bushings.

Have repaired numerious window motors & used wooden dowels & have also cut slugs from from round bar stock to fit.

Go ahead and replace the bushings in both headlight motors. If one's gone ****-up, the other's right behind it. Trust us.
