thank you Arthur, hopefully I can get around to trying this tomorrow. I was worried I was going to need to invest a few hours to get to the blower motor again. 1st attempt at a fix was picking up the motor with squirrel cages and flipping them together as one. Seemed to help a little. 2nd attempt was keeping the motor in the same direction, but flipping the squirrel cages around again seemed to help a little more with the flow. However, this seems like the best idea/suggestion yet
