  • OK - so the thing I long expected finally happened!

    My passenger side headlight motor gear has stripped out.

    Years ago I bought the brass gear repair kit. Now I need to fix my headlight gears - but every weekend is filled with things I have to do. :work: Not to mention I really have not been looking forward to the repair itself.

    Anyone want to earn a few bucks and fix my headlight gears?
    I solemnly swear I am up to no good.

    It's not that bad to replace. The glue though tend to come lose so you may have to clamp it down.

    There's a video in this site that will show the step by step how to:

              You are welcome to come here and stay at my place while you fix my headlight gears. This is the entrance to where I live.





              I've got a very nice, well appointed guest room waiting.

              (The Christmas tree has been removed.)




              Loads of great food here. Eight types of beers plus a decent selection of fine wines.



              The jacuzzi and the pool are heated.



              All yours to enjoy while you fix my headlight gears.

                That's awesome and all but you might have more troubles later with all the water getting into the engine. We're trying to fix it ok? You might have to saran wrap the intake before you bring it to me in the hot tub.

                    reminds me of a house I saw on HGTV househunters the other day. A couple of annoying 20 something college grads were looking for their fist place, but were picky as heck, but the houses they were looking at had similar pools. I think it was in Parrish, FL. You're not the one in the show are you? lol. Then again I think the dude had a jeep.

                      Well, I replaced the headlight gear - but the motor broke along the way anyway. So Now I've got a new headlight motor and a new brass gear in the new motor.
