<VV> Blower Bearing

[Joel McGregor]

You must have had a defective bearing.  I've replaced several but none more
than once.  Mine sit for years at a time and I don't have any problems.  The
vendors should have a lube tool.  I have one but haven't ever used it so I
can't tell you how well it works.  Were you careful to push on the shaft to
press it into the engine cover and press on the shell when installing in the
hub?

I replaced my second fan bearing in two years. I drive the car about two 
thousand miles per year. That can't be normal. I guess sitting around all
winter 
harms this bearing as well. Can this bearing be lubricated some how?
Thanks
