While waiting parts, i had to do something useful. I remembered that i had problems with the climate control.
I took some pics while fixing the motor. Hope this DIY is useful to somebody.
Some bird could get a nice nest...:
Fixing the annoying sound motor:
Unscrew the motor from the plastic assembly under the clove box, and unscrew these screws:
Get the rotor out from the axle using some pliers, bench and little hammer:
Use compressed air to blow all those shit off. As you can see in this pic, you cant change the brushes easily, cause there isn´t enough room:
Snap the motor backplate off:
Find a flat metal thingy, put it in a place showed in a picture (watch out the "coils") and carefully hammer the motor out (not completely) from the plastic::
Hammer it so it looks like this. (You can now clean and oil the lower bearing. Oil that "spongebob" looking thing too):
Unclip the plates that hold the brushes and pull the brushes out. Snap out the old ones, and solder in the new brushes (i used the file to modify my alternator brushes to right size): put it all together again and remember to clean and oil the upper bearing:
Use hammer to get the motor back to its plastic assembly, wash all ther parts and put it together and test. Its quiet
