Can the  front heater fan be disassembled and greased if it is still good?
How easy  is it to take the fan itself off the shaft of the  motor?

Complete utter waste of time.  For the cost of  a brand new one, from my
_Vanagon Items  Forsale_ (http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/sales.htm)  webpage >
Blower fan and motor, front heater, 8100, 251 819  015  - $58.75 CND, plus the time
and trouble to get in there why would  you even "THINK" about trying to
repair the old motor ?   Go read the  archives on this subject and you will find a
huge amount of useful  information.  Just trying to save you from postponed
grief !
