"Is there a quick and easy way to lubricate the motor's bushings?"

I have done this job on the non-drive end of the motor. Remove the blower motor, and carefully cut a slot in the housing. Cut just deeply enough to go through the end of the housing. Clean out the cutting as best as you can. Place a couple of drops of oil in the slot. It doesn't take much, just enough to wet the end of the shaft. Then clean off the outside and seal with silicone. You may also be able to get some oil on the fan side of the motor by removing the fan and dropping a small bit of oil around the shaft where it comes out of the motor housing. It worked for me. Maybe others here have suggestions from their experiences. Good luck.
