I've been looking for the fan motor by itself also. I haven't been able to find one yet. I won't spend the money Eeuro want for the assembly just for a squeak. I just had my heater core and fan swapped in the white 97 and I used one of my used fans and tried to get some Mobil 1 into the bearings and cleaned the commutator on the motor. There is plenty of material left on the brushes so I put it in. I have been popping the fan wheel off and setting the motor vertically with the bearing I want to lube pointed up and leave some oil sitting on the bearing shield for a few days. Then I hotwire the motor to test run it. I've got two spare assemblies and the brushes all look good. The oil seems to seep in after a couple days. Hopefully, it will buy me a few years. By then my 9000's will all be ready for the junkyard. Rust is eating them up.
