Is the old style AIC much different from the new style AIC? I might be wrong but I remember studying mine and concluded that it's pretty much a lump of metal and quite inaccessible. There might/must have been some (fairly narrow) access to the motor from the top of it where the harness connector is plugged, but nothing obvious and inviting like screws. So I only ended up lubricating it. br, S
