Thanks for the advice Ned, I got the blower motor out.  I looked
at the brushes and they are worn out.  The bad part is that the
commutator is gone as well.  I have an additional question.  Does
the replacement motor come with a squirrel cage or does that part
have to be transferred to the new motor?
