Default 1940 wiper motor

Is it possible to lube the motor without taking it apart, mine cycles but sticks once in a while ?

thanks kurt

A little Marvel Mystery Oil will also do the trick.

Sticks? If at the extremes the problem is most likely in the small metal cover. There is a switching device that moves to switch the vacuum so the motor can reverse. The switching device can stick or hang up.
