Done/fixed. Popped cap off (after melting ice inside). Blew dry. Wd40. Blew that out and dribbled 20wt in there as best I could. Will do a more thoughtful job when not so far below freezing. For those that have torn into these, I assume, based on motor end housing shape, that it actually has sintered bronze bushings and not bearings. Is that correct? If so, 20wt (3 in 1) is ideal. Just went through this with a pellet stove blower. Thanks. Oh, a couple of raps with a screwdriver handle in the bushing location freed the motor.
