If you are replacing the front heater fan with a used one, or if you have yours
out for some reason, I recommend oiling the bearings to make it last longer.
One bearing is easily accessible, to get to the other one, drill a 1/4" hole in
the cone-shaped inner part of the blower cage and dribble in some oil on the
other bearing. Then drill another hole oppssite the first to keep the blower
balanced so it won't vibrate.
