Thanks everyone, I appreciate the input.
@04duxlr - I'm not sure. I know that when I was there, I was contemplating changing the bearings for ball, but decided it was going to be too hard with the ONLY blower motor that I had. I was afraid to break/tweak something and be without my heater in sub freezing weather. I've changed them in other motors, but didn't need them as badly.
@Savannah Buzz - I forgot about that. It was pretty smooth, so I think I'll be ok, but that is exactly what I've done on other motors when replacing the brushes.
@aarongregor - Thank you, and I HOPE this is a long time fix. I won't know right away though...
@Colorado David - I did not need to remove the glove box, but maybe mine is different for some reason. 'S' model, less in there??? Also, I'm guessing the Plenum Filter parts are what were supposed to keep the leaves out. I'll be replacing that filter shortly, mine's gone.
PS: My fan is MUCH quieter now. But along with the oil, I'm guessing getting out the filter parts probably helps that as much as anything. It's now balanced much better, also lending to a longer life.

Well Done!
Very good write-up. And by that, I mean VERY GOOD WRITE-UP!! Thanks for taking the extra time to clearly document the process with pictures- all from a reasonable prospective to be able to make out what we are looking at. Thorough visuals and verbage.... being a fairly common maintenance issue, this should be easy for experts and novices alike to follow step by step. Thanks Again!!
