I have an 88 vert that I inherited. It needs a ton of work but it is bone stock one owner with 134K miles on it. I need to fix the broken plastic gear bushings in the motor. I was told by someone to replace them with ball bearings and they will never wear out. All I could find was for a Bronco. That site said to use 11mm ball bearings. Anyone heard this before? Can you verify if 11mm is correct?

Thanks

Just buy new bushings. Autozone has 'em for under $10 for the three. They'll last another 30 years!

You can get them from the zone or O'Reilly in the help section, don't do the ball bearing thing, sometimes you need to replace the gear, not very often. Plan on doing all the window motors,,
I always suggest getting a quality repair book from Ford for your year, you can get them on the fleabay, you'll thank me later.
