He has to check to see where he can get the parts and will call me. With him knowing that I wanted to save some money he recommended a place I could take it.
 
Don't be surprised if they tell you that you need a new blower wheel as well. It may look fine and be perfectly serviceable, but they often replace them to be on the safe side as even small vibration can kill the bearings.
 
didn't you have to pay for his first visit? if he has to come back because he has no part, does he charge for another visit? and if that part does not fit, will he charge for the third visit too?
 
Final Update>>>

This morning I took the blower fan in to have checked out. They said one of the bronze bushings is rotating with the shaft. So they replaced the bushings and shaft and had to drill out a set screw because the head broke off. Got it home and discovered they put the pulley on the wrong side. Took it back and they fixed it. Hooked everything up and it's working. ****HEAT****

1)New Motor... $235

2)HVAC Tech... $80 to walk in the door and $50 to wire the motor and tell me the blower fan was bad. $130 total

3)Rebuild Blower Fan...$105

Total Cost $470.......Any guesses as to what it would cost to have the HVAC company do everything?
 
Assuming that the other motor was actually o.k., I was thinking it might cost around $300 or so to have an HVAC techie fix the blower fan, maybe using one of the generic bearing/shaft repair kits I linked to in your other thread.

It's hard to guess on these things. You did good, and you learned a lot.
