headlamp gear replacement
ive got a 2000 c5 and the headlamp motor finally took a $hit. got the replacement. from what ive read my headlamp motor is epoxyed shut. so ive got to break the epoxy, replace the gear and glue it back shut. what type of glue should i use to re seal the motor housing?

If you buy the gear kit from Rodney Dickman, he's designed a bracket that will secure the motor housing together after the repair. He also sends epoxy with the kit.
