Heater blower motor brushes

[79fj40]

I took apart the heater motor to clean up and lube. Is there a trick to getting the springs and brushes in place long enough to slip them over armature? I have been fighting them for the past hour with no luck.

thanks

Is it possible to remove the armature from the motor? Assemble it to the brushes and cap, then put it back in?

 

[79fj40]

Yes I had it out to lube the bottom bearing. I tried doing it that way for a while and then put it in the housing to try. No luck with either yet.

It was a major PITA but I figured it out and got it back together and Patience was the key

I know this is a very date thread but if anyone has any info, where can I find replacement brushes for the heater blower motor?

and is thater a best way ( other than patienc) to re-intall the brushes and assemble the motor housing?


If anybody is out there that might know?

Search online for Electric Motor Brushes then take the measurements of your old brushes and try to match them up (you'll have to guess-timate the original length if they're worn of course)

This might be a crap shoot, but when I was in an Ace hardware a couple of yrs ago and noticed they had a selection of brushes in their specialty bolt section. I've also found not all Ace hardwares carry the same products.

I believe the blower motor for the carb are same as for the heater so could use it as a parts donor. Just saying incase you have one in your stash.

I bought some for a skilsaw from the hardware store bin drawers and resized them on my belt sander. That was 20 years ago, so pb4ugo, it isn't a crap shoot, it's a reality. I can't remember the brand of saw etc, but just get them oversized. If no belt sander tape a sheet of 80 grit to a flat surface and rub away. It goes quickly, so test often.

You can probably take measurements and get a pair. Almost sounds obscene.
