My blower motor had failed on my '90 124 about seven years ago. I removed it to replace it with a new one. I chickened out trying to get the squirrel cages off, as my new one did not have the cages and I needed to move the old ones to it. I was certain I would break them.
Well, the motor would barely turn by hand - it was very tight. I put a few drops of motor oil on the shaft and worked it in by twisting the shaft by hand.
I reinstalled the old blower motor and it has worked fine for the last seven years.
YMMV!
