curls

When my heat or AC is on, my blower motor (fan) seems to be squeaking -- enough to make it really annoying but not enough to make me think it's about to conk out in the middle of winter.

Has anyone had this problem before? Has anyone tried removing the blower motor? I wouldn't mind taking it out and looking at the bushings for the fan, but if getting the blower motor out is a serious PITA, I might just leave it be for now. Any experiences with removing this component?

I have a minor squeek at lower speeds, but it isn't nearly enough for me to care. I could look in the service manual later to see how difficult it is, but it won't be until later. So maybe someone with theirs in front of them could do an initial assessment.

My service manual is at home, so I could look but not until 7pm tonight anyhow. I was just looking for experiences because as we all know, a few "seemingly simple" steps in the service manual equate to a few "stress swears" in the swear jar. LOL.

actually, nevermind. LukeATron detailed that the removal is extremely easy in this past thread (yay for Searching!).

Looks like I have a project!

I was about to respond and say it's very easy, but you already found it, hehe. So yeah, it's about 5 minutes of work to get it out.
