The real fix of course is to pull the dash, split the heater box,
rejuvenate or replace the blower, and take care of the flap seals and
cleaning crud out of the core fins.  But drilling a hole in the sheet
metal (and maybe another one to look through) per Mullendore will
allow you to squirt some Triflow onto the exposed rear bearing which
is the one that really needs it.  It's not a lasting fix but you can
repeat as needed and put off the reckoning indefinitely by keeping
your ear tuned for little squeaks or failure to start on speed
one.  It's an awful kluge, but a useful one.

Yrs,
