Blower motor squealing

My blower motor would squeal only when it was really humid. I took it out cleaned it and it shut up. 6 months later it squeals all the time. It still blows strong. What can I lube it with?

If you can get the motor and blower separated, this is how I repaired/re-lubed the motor on my '85:

I appreciate the help. I tried to take it apart before and seemed like I would have ot break it apart. I might try again or just get a new one for $55.

Yes, it seems that on some of the later models, the blower was not made to be easily opened. Not sure if that was the case on the 3rd gens or not.

Doesn't even look like you can get the fan blade cage off without it breaking.
