Quoting myself: >Bosch blower motors that are squealing, running slow or even seized >can almost always be saved by freeing-up and oiling. This one can't >because the switch was left on in high position while it was seized, >until a terrible smell emerged and the fuse blew. Since the motor's >dead, good chance to show how one is put together and where to oil >it. Note that to get to the oiling places (except the outside of the >rear bearing) you have to remove the motor, which is not very >difficult if you have a vise. I'll have more pictures later showing >how this is done. On the Meyle aftermarket blowers the design >requires that a puller of some sort be built that will extract the >blower wheel from its shaft; so generally speaking the Meyle is not >practically serviceable. http://picasaweb.google.com/dbeierl/VanagonAnatomyOfABOSCHHeaterBlowerMotor# Yours, David
