Wiper motor grease type? (1 Viewer)

[coldtaco]

After my 12V wiper sat on the shelf for over 10yrs before putting it on the Ute I think the grease is mostly dry, it moves quite slowly. I would like to clean and re grease it before going on my fall trip. What kind of grease would I use? If anyone has a good working LHD 12V wiper motor they would part with I would entertain that option. Thanks.

I think I just figured out why my wiper is slow, it might be a 24V wiper since I think it came from the 86 BJ70 I had Need to look and see if there is a part number I can see.

Never mind, it clearly says 12V and looks to be from a 1990-2006 70 series

Anyone got a good one laying around they would be willing to part with?

didn't dig into it yet since no one has responded as to what kind of grease to use. don't want to open it until I have what I need.

Hello,

A while ago I took a wiper motor apart. The motor turned effortlessly but the gears were stuck. I did not disassemble the motor. I focused on the gears instead.

The gears had grease that looked like lithium grease. The same color and thickness. I tried some lithium grease and they started to move.

I assembled the motor and I noticed it turned with the force of my hands. I put it aside and forgot about it. Until now.

I did not check whether lithium grease was in fact the appropriate lubricant.

It might be worth a try.

thanks for the info. I think I will go to a local starter/alternator repair shop and ask them what they recommend, if they still exist.

According to this thread: Toyota Body Grease - Really? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/toyota-body-grease-really.1250707/
Molykote YM-103 is the same as Toyota Body Grease W.

I used Molykote 44 Light as a substitute for 08887-02007 on my electric hub slip rings based on this thread: What grease for electric hub slip rings? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/what-grease-for-electric-hub-slip-rings.666783/
However, that application does not have plastic/metal or plastic/plastic contact.

Due to the above thread and this thread on rebuilding an EDIC motor I have used Molykote 33 for two axle locker motors and an EDIC on a BJ42.

EDIT: that was a few years before the information was available about MolyKote YM-103 though. <---seems like a good solution, but have no direct experience.
