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. Erik V.
