On low fan setting the motor does not turn at all. After taking the motor from it's mounting bracket I found that rotating the shaft was abit stickey... it will not freely spin. Looks like there is about 3/8" left on the brushes (from what I see without removing them) However, the bearings at either end of the motor are somewhat rusty.
My question: is there something i can do to get the motor free'd up, i.e. lubricating the bearings/shaft or am I looking at replacing the motor/squirrel cages? Winter is nearly apon me... gonna need the heat.
BTW, I have proper voltages coming from CCP all the way up to the motor... checked last week 
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Just put in a new motor. Then you will have miles of worry free use from this accessary.
I ordered a new blower motor from **************. Cost was $114.70 with free shipping to my door. That was in February of this year.
You will need a hammer and a punch that has a point no wider than the shaft of the blower motor.
Carefully support the cage (still attached to the old blower) between two stacks of books. The blower motor will dangle between the books. Place the punch directly on the shaft carefull not to damage the cage. Swiftly strike the punch a couple of times. The motor will fall free of the cage.
With equal pressure taking great care not to break the cage, press the cage onto the shaft of the new motor.
Ready to reinstall motor w/cage. Good luck
