How to - Repair/fix your cooling fan motors (YouTube vid)

[RedWill]

Glad i found this guide, the one fan is not working on the 350z i bought last week , temp got very hot when idling in a traffic queue.

 

Was just about to order two new fans but will try this out tonight.

 

This forum is great for my questions

I don't suppose anybody has a torturial kicking about on how to remove and clean and replace these fan motors as the YouTube video cannot be located on my ipad

as stated by tricky ricky in the link if you undercut the commuter it will make the repair last longer as it reduces arcing and brush wear just find someone with a small lathe its a quick easy job took me 10 min extra when i did mine

Is Undercutting shaving a slight amount of the Comm to make it smooth and round again?

Does anyone use lubrication of any type on the carbon brushes and sliders when doing this job?

Just saved myself nearly £400 for 2 new motors by repairing the old ones following this guide
