*THIS KIT REPAIRS TWO (2) HEADLIGHT MOTORS, LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE***THIS KIT INCLUDES FREE USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL SHIPPING WITH TRACKING**
***THIS HARD ANODIZED ALUMINUM GEAR IS JUST AS DURABLE AS BRASS BUT IS HALF THE WEIGHT!***
This is hands down the most complete and highest quality kit that you will find to do a heavy duty rebuild of the gear assembly in your General Motors headlight motor. If your headlight motor spins but does not open the headlight, opens or closes the headlight partially, or keeps running with a clunking noise after it has opened or closed then this kit is what you need.
This kit includes a two (2) new CNC machined hard anodized aluminum gears, two (2) new side cover gaskets and six (6) new precision machined Delrin torque pins. These torque pins are MADE IN THE USA and the best you can buy because they are precision machined +/- .001" for even torque spread around the entire gear. These pins will fit all OEM gears PERFECTLY! The fit is just snug enough so there is no slop but not so tight that the gear assembly will need to be forced together causing the nylon plastic gear to crack during extreme temperatures. Because I have rebuilt hundreds of these motors over the years I have seen many times what the incorrectly sized pins will do. These pins will not deteriorate and break up over time like the OEM gel pins.
As a bonus I will also include several blister packs of the same high quality OEM grease that I use when rebuilding headlight motors for my customers. This is the correct grease for this application and is the same grease that was originally used when your headlight motor was manufactured. This grease has a high film strength so it stays put and won't run or melt with a effective operating temperature from -20 degrees to +600 degrees. Other sellers do not include OEM grease. WARNING! Beware other sellers passing off bearing grease as "GM Approved" for this application. Any grease that will flow or break down over time is wrong for this application and will eventually coat your brushes causing failure! Trust me I have seen this first hand.
If this kit does not solve your problem or you run into trouble you can contact me and I will be happy to apply the cost of this kit towards my rebuild service. NO OTHER SELLER ON EBAY CAN OFFER THIS TO YOU!
Detailed instructions available upon request. Just send me a message or a note with your payment along with the make and model of your vehicle and I will send to your email.
If you need a kit without the gear or prefer a OEM nylon plastic gear then please visit my eBay store.
If you need a kit to repair only one motor then please visit my eBay store.
*Beware the OEM style gel torque pins which are designed (in my opinion) to have a lifespan just like the OEM gel pins meaning they are designed to deteriorate and fail over time. I have also seen many of the replacement hollow nylon torque pins that will also eventually break up and fail.
Please see the compatibility chart for vehicle compatibility.
