Both cases involved motors that were pretty frozen up before the lubrication and worked for a while after the lubrication, but could have resulted in the complete loss of the vehicles to fire. Not worth it. David Beierl [6/14/2016] I recently took my heater box out after several years of spraying oil through the "Mullendore port" to stop the bearing squeaking -- the oil had made a nasty mess of the commutator, so the more precise your aim the better. Regardless, it's a band-aid. From: Loren Busch Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2020 3:42 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Front Heater Fan Motor Lube? Sometime in the past, on a Vanagon list somewhere, Karl Mullendore post a hack for lubricating the front heater fan motor. It consisted of drilling a hole in exactly the right place in the front of the van to access the motor. He posted pictures. BUT I'll be darned if I cn find that now. Anyone have a clue where those pictures and direction might reside?
