Re: Window Motor Gear Problem

The problem is, the small gear we have has a hex shape hole and won't fit on the window motor because of the shape and because its too big. Do we have to buy a gear specifically for the motor or is there something we can do so the gear will fit?

Thanks for the help

You have to either buy a gear to fir around the window motor, or you can machine/order a hub that fits around the window motor and that the gear mounts to.
