Default Lubricate blower motor

Anyone knows if it's possible to lubricate the blower motor in a freelander 2 2008?
pretty much work to disamble the entire fan and motor. Wondering if it's possible to get a small view of the motor or fan only by removing dome bits and pieces from down the footwell? And then maybe get some wd40 or something similar to hit the motor or fan? Anyone tried something like this before?
The sound from the fan is driving me crazy.

Your fan is about to die. It is a closed motor with an internal bearing and cannot be lubricated. Not worth all the trouble when a new motor can be bought on eBay for $30-$40. The hard part is changing it, but on these cars you just have to bite the bullet and do it. And if you get the motor out, you'd be crazy to lubricate it and try to use it like that when it will just fail again much sooner than later.

thanks for the info, I guess I just have to buy a new one then and spend some time in the garage.
