In this video, I'll be replacing the cabin fan blower motor of a Saab 9-3. I've seen people successfully using sewing machine oil to lubricate the bearings and get the assembly moving. It's worth a try, and as you still need to remove and then reinstall the motor this video should still help, but it did not work for me so I decided to replace it.
Note:
This is my first ever video, so there are a few things I know I could do better - and will do better - in a second video. Near the end, in the dark, my camera did not properly focus, and there are quite a few places where I could have given more information, or used the camera to show, rather than tell. Also, I learned it's not 'middle console' but 'centre console'. Oops.

Closing notes:
As much as I think that working on your car is both great fun and very cost-effective, any work you do on your car is at your own risk. Please work safely - I've been saved by good safety equipment more than once. Don't do stupid things - don't work under a car supported only by a jack, don't use sharp tools without protective gloves, and do get yourself a nice pair of safety goggles.
