I was able to successfully rejuvinate one by cleaning the brushes and
applying some di-electric grease to the armature contacts.  Only did the
upper brush, as the lower was a PITA to get to, but that did the trick.

Is it possible to rebuild these when they are out of the car or is just not
worth the effort?  I am planning on getting a spare blower from a junk car
and replacing brushes and anything else needed, unless this is a waste of my
time....
