Stuart - I am strongly averse to drilling holes that may promote rust. when I replaced the spent motor I took an extra step for preventative maintenance. before I mounted the new motor in the box I put a small blob of petrol jelly on the driver's side shaft/bearing end. then I epoxied a plastic cap that just fit to keep the grease in and dust out. h t h � � � � � mike
