Heater Blower Motor Noises

[prairie]

M1008 heater blower is intermittently making lots of noise, although it works just fine. A rumbling, rattling sound, sometimes a slight screeching noise. Very loud and annoying, and happens more often everyday. I am assuming that the blower motor is going bad.
Will check with the local NAPA to see if they have the correct NAPA part #655-1076 in stock.
Anything else I may need? I hate to tear things apart and not have parts readily available, as it may be several days or possibly even weeks before i have time to work on it again.

Thanks in advance

I lost you. Does it need a new motor or new hardware?

motor... but you have to remove it before you can replace it.

GM fan motors dont have bearings they have bushings... really most blower moth=ors just have bushings. I have taken them out and used some three in one oil or air tool oil and that does the trick for a little while.

Go to autozone there dirt cheap??? Not even worth messing with oiling!!
