Powermaster motor

Is it possible to oil the bearings on the motor? It just started a little squealing in the morning but then I don't hear it the rest of the day. Brakes work fine.
Or can just the motor be replaced?

No, the motor isn't servicable...at least without destroying the retaining tabs. Then it probablly wouldn't work well or at least for very long.

If it bothers you, replace it. Much better reliability factor there.
Find Hank Terry. He makes them brand new.
There is a thread somewhere on his motors.
Try the vendor section.

Honestly, I don't think I'd go with another Powermaster. It's probably best to convert to vacuum.

I've seen two Powermasters go bad in 10 years I've owned my car.
