Blower motor? "Here we go again"

[Melloreel]

Ok. The blower motor stopped working yesterday. First time since I purchased car. I opened the cabin filter to look for blockage. None found. Then I turned the cage by hand, and it started working fine. Now today "hot as fire in Georgia"
It stops again? So I open the fresh air vent, then drove to highway speed to see if outside air would move motor enough to start! It did.
Now ? How much trouble to change out blower motor? Let me guess. Pull engine and transmission, also rear tires:laugh:
Any idea of motor cost?

Remove the bottom plastic panel there should be a few screws and it comes out. Should take less than 20 minutes from start to finish.

I took out my son's blower and unplugged and lubed it with WD40. Put it back.

I was told that I should of used silicone instead but it is working now and has been for a few weeks.
