Keep your motor clean ocd probs

[Slicktmi]

Here's a old little hack for someone that doesn't know In order to keep dirt and dust out of your motor and bearings cause it always finds its way in there so find a piece of an old thin cloth or fabric i used a sheet for the bed and electrical tape so what you do is tape the screw holes in the motor your not going to use and also if your can has an exposed rear bearing apply tape to cover that as well then cut a rectangular piece of cloth and poke a hole through it i used my little hex driver not to big though so it fits tight over the shaft then spray a light coat of light oil of your choice on the cloth so the dust sticks to it and doesn't go past the cloth works great you also don't have to use any oil still works very good dry

been doing it got a long while bearings still look new if you have any questions let me know. Side note not my original idea i found others using foam from old tires but i personally think that's way too bulky so i found cloth works very well

Simple and effective! Thanks for sharing, definitely worth the effort.

That really helps indeed, i sealed the holes with some kit (for ovens)
