5K blower motor

Ben asks...
"Also, who has the brushes?  Dealer item? "

Ben,
The brushes are a generic thing used in all electric motors, and
replacements are available at many hardware type stores.  I believe this
incl HomeDepot.  They would carry brushes for electric power tools for
example, in assorted of sizes.  You just take the old brushes in and try to
match the size as close as you can.  If it's not a perfect fit just file it
down.

But what about bearings?  Wehre can you do the same thing with bearings?  I
know you can order them thru the mail, but would there be some kind of
local source where you could walk in with the old bearing and find a
replacement?
