The blower fan is chirping a bit on my car. Does that mean it's toast, or is there something just to lube? I was hoping it was the spindles it rides on, and not the bearings. Just chirps a bit for a while at first, then stops.

I saw some previous posts about people ripping their unit open, and soaking the bearings in brake fluid, etc. Seems easier and cheaper to just buy the $80 motor and be done.
