I had a noisy blower motor, and I replaced it with the brushless one from a junkyard pick. Works well. I don't remember the old one being...
If you can find one in a self serve junkyard, you can practice on the removal!
Watch a YouTube on it. Generally it's not too hard. I haven't done a gen 3, but I had to remove my son's gen 2 steering wheel when we did the evap...
