It's another one step forward/two steps back today in Mopar Land. Pulled the plastic squirrel cage off the heater motor blower during my heater box rebuild. It was stuck a little, so used some WD-40. Well, it finally came off but tiny bits and pieces of the plastic center hub went flying. It seems the plastic hub was old/hard/brittle and could not withstand my noble efforts. The sad thing is the blades were just fine and I could have left it alone (to fail at a later date?).
A quick internet search found nothing with respect to the squirrel cage itself (measures 5 1/2 inches in diamater and either 2 7/8 or 2 15/16 inches tall). Did not find anything new or used that seemed to match a complete blower motor with squirrel cage either. What does everyone else do in a case like this (heater delete, HaHa)? Thank you.
