i've been looking everywhere and calling alot of local shops with no luck. do rebuild kits even exist??? or do i need to buy a new motor??
i need the kit for an '88 bird

 

does the motor still run but the light doesn't come up?
If so, you can get a bushing rebuild kit for about $25 from TDS.

yea i took it apart and adjusted the bushing (there is nothing left of it) and i got it to turn. thats all i need is new bushings.

 

it says used... is this rebuilt or some guy sellin off stuff with a little life left in it??? the bushings is exaclty what i need

 

the link to the bushing repair kit is for the new bushings,
should say this,
Deluxe headlight repair kit
[209280] $20.00

 

yea thats with the white lube and gaskets and stuff....theres another thing on there that just has the bushings.... it says used....it has to be better then what i got not rite??? i ordered it, like 15 bux with shipping. thanks for the link i've been going crazy looking for that part!!

 

I couldn't find the used stuff, but there was a link for the 3 bushings by themselves for $6.25.

 

drop 3 15/32 bearings in there and ya wont hafta worry about ANYTHING crumbeling again. i did this almost 4 years ago and all is good and smooth in my motors. i used white lithium spray grease in the gear area.
iv also built a few other folks headlight motors and all is good with theirs as well.

 

where do yoiu get 3 15/32 bearings and how does that work????

 

go to your local bearing supply and ask for them, that is about the only place to get them unless your local hardware store is better than avg. there is a size smaller than 15/32 that will work. they are larger than the avg hardware store will carry. but 15/32 are the best fitting .

drop the bearings in the plastic gear, 1 in each clover leaf and put it back together like ya took it apart.
yas got any more ques ,ask.
