Need quick hvac help

[nissan_crawler]

I have a rheem criterion II RGPH-10EAMER furnace. I have no manual. the combustion fan motor (whatever it's called) is dying a slow painful death. I found what *may* be it on amazon, P/N: 70-101087-81. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Rheem-70-101087-81-Inducer-Combustion-Motor/dp/B0015Z35X8Can anybody confirm if this is correct? This is the motor/fan/housing/everything. Can I get just a motor, or even a bushing kit?

I did the other stuff by the motor #'s, but I can't find much on this one, the tag appears to be gone.

Calling the local places is worthless, they won't sell a part unless they install it themselves. I'm not paying somebody to pull a few screws and two wires.

Nissan:
Did you get this fixed?
Those fan motors are pretty basic.
I would open it up and give it a WD40 bath.

I have oiled them and its a temp fix, some of them need a weep hole to let the condensate drip out. It rusts the keepers. I went thru the same thing a while back, the jobber was a pain in the rear, insisted I need license to buy a 250$ pc of junk, took it home and made a new better bushing from a car door hinge bush or something, a size bigger, put a weep hole below it so condensate couldn't settle there and its been running like new or better since. Whole repair took about an hour, they can keep the 250$ blower.

Around here, if it is a gas appliance, no one wants to sell you any parts for it, because of liability. They claim that you have to be a licensed plumber, but if it is oil, then there is no problem. Don't know if it is a state law, or a company policy, but I have not been able to buy gas appliance parts anywhere in MA, and I have tried in the past. Once you mention gas, they shut you down immediately..

Take either the motor,or all the nameplate data you can find to a local electric motor rewind/supply shop.They should have or be able to order a generic replacement for a lot less than the HVAC guys.I never had to deal with any gasfitter mafia BS at the motor supply unlike at those other places.Sometimes I wish the gutless electrical industry would protect us the same way.
