cooljjay, that's the plan. That is to disect the motor and fix and make it turn freely. I'll update this thread more tonight. In reality, prior to installing the new motor, I studied how the mechanism tilts the mirrors. Pretty ingenious how they did it. I put a few drops of very light machine oil on the threads to minimize binding on something that is potentially 30 years old. ALso I cleaned up the threads.
Stretch, thank for the compliment.
