Cooker hood motor restoration

[Grahamlad]

Hi all,

I have been cleaning up a cooker hood, similar to the restoration of the motor in this video.

At 06:45 he seems to put some sort of lubricant on the spindle of the motor. What do you think that is, and do you know any suitable products?

(Also, am I right that the tool used at 8:40 is just long-nosed pliers? Are there other tools that are better for locking onto small hexagonal things like that? )

Thanks,

John

Should use the proper size socket & personally I would use silicon grease.
