Fixed (temporarily) original blower motor

[HAL75057]

Sorry but I don't have pics. Managed to get my Original blower motor working again with 430k miles. The brushes are in sad shape and while trying to separate the motor housing from the plastic frame I broke the plastic.

I really just wanted to clean up the brushes for the motor but I was too rough with the pinched metal tabs and the plastic broke. Super glue to the rescue!

Fwiw I think I've come across a single person that's managed to get inside their blower motor and NOT break it. If you're looking for a replacement I bought a TRQ one and it works great, aside from a very slight whirring noise when it's set very low and everything else is dead quiet while driving. Blows air very strong though, ultimately would recommend one. I also still have my old OEM one laying around if you'd like it, no cost just pay shipping, though I pulled it because it was starting to squeak/chirp on occasion (have seen others comment on this happening with age but not sure what the direct cause is)
