Topic: Any way to lube the fan blower?

[tilac999]

Any sneaky way to get some oil on the bearing without removing it? intermittent noise and I'm in no mood to remove the inner or outer fender to get at it.

No

Found a way. Used Fluid Film and a spray extension. A small shot aimed at the rear of the fan motor through the rubber vent tube. Access directly below hood hinge, you'll see a dimple in the inner fender, pull the rubber vent tube and give it a shot.
Squeak is gone. Fan works fine, always did, just needed to cure the intermittent squeak. Might have to do it again in future but for now I'm happy.

I didn't think that part needed to be lubed. It's a sealed bearing.

correct. it's a sealed bearing. I've done this trick on a couple of different cars and trucks and it works. not a permanent fix.
