It quit working at all. Brushes were el wornouto. Shot. Nothing
left but the springs. Armature looks very worn. I opted for a new
motor via Mr. Q, who comes up with a gizmo for all needs.
The old motor is available for the cost of shipping if anyone wants
one to rebuild.
Why are you replacing your fan motor? I have noticed that mine in
the 87 run much much slower than the wifes 91. Brushes?

I got the fans changed to the new motor. After I got the right
combination of search terms, I found a posting where someone said
just to turn the fans on the shaft with plenty penetrating oil
until one fan spins, then keep turning it while pull it off the
shaft. I did that and got one off after many minutes, then put
that fan on the right end of the new motor. Next I clamped that
end of the shaft in the vise and did the same with the other fan.
As of now, I have the new motor with both fans back in the car,
clamped down, and ready to test.
So, there are at least 3 little parts missing from the nameless
forum instruction. 2 if you leave out lubing the in-out mechanism.
The rest is just putting Humpty back together again.
IIRC, which is not likely, both the 2 large screws and the three small ones
have to come out to get the cover off. Yes, the arm had to be moved several
times to get to them. pay very close attention to where everything lines up
for re-assembly.
I don't have any suggestions for the fan problem ---

In case you wondered, Loren, your email is getting out. Unfortunately, I
don't know the answers to your questions.
Next question: The CD does not have anything about lubricating the
monowiper mechanism. On the back of the cover, there are 2 large
screws and 3 smaller screws. Which one should come out to remove the
cover for cleaning and lube? I thought maybe the 2 big ones, but the
cover didn't seem loose after that. The 3 small ones can't be
removed without repositioning the piper several times, so it doesn't
seem logical that they are what I need to take out.
I'm pretty sure this has been posted before. Check the archives, maybe?
And what is the piper?

I would expect that cutting off the 1/2" that is beyond the hubs won't
help get it loose.
