I found a great article that was written about rebuilding C2 headlight motors and it's absolutely perfect, makes life easy to have the information step, by step. The author's email was alann@primalwear.com and when I sent the email, it came back undeliverable.

Does anyone know what type of grease to use for the headlight motor rebuild? I went to a few auto parts stores and they said to use axle or lithium grease which doesn't make sense, it's thin and I would think seepage would be a problem. The grease in the pictures is a blue color which appears to be thick in consistency.

Good white lithium grease or Lubriplate "A".

I make it a practice to never disagree with JohnZ . So I agree, but, Mercruiser sells a Spline Grease that is light consistency,never hardens and is very clingy. JMHO, Al W.

You'll see in the pictures the blue grease I was talking about. I spoke with ah friend of mine who suggested that this may be what it is.

I'm a Buick Gran Sport guy who likes the Corvette too.. I'm not all that new here, rebuilt a yellow C3 over the past few years and this forum has been very helpful. I just never heard of John Z.
