I have a '88 90Q that the blower started squeking on about 18 months ago.  I 
crawled up under the dash and found the motor rather quickly.  Seems like it 
took me about 30 minutes to find it and get it out of there.

Anyways, I put a little grease on each end of the bearings, and put it back. 
 It still works fine, and blowers get quite a work out in Phoenix during the 
summer...
