Subject:Lube Raditor fan motor bushings?
From:neil N

Hi all.

Bench tested a rad fan from an 85 Vanagon "Transporter" and it runs
and sounds ok. It looks original. So as a preventitive measure.....

Can I lube the motor bushings? Are they easily accessible?

Or is the fan a "sealed" affair and not worth trying to lube?

It appears that the blade unit is press fit and won't slide off
easily, (and I'm learning about "old" VW plastic --- ;^) so rather
than risk damage, I thought I'd access the list-o-wisdom first!

Thanks,

Neil.
