Blower Clicking

Blower Clicking
I did some searching around and I can't really find anything that's relevant or recent. I recently took my 2001 4runner over to have the blower fixed as it was only working on high and now it makes a nice clicking noise when it is on.
I was told that the blower needed to be replaced.
I was just curious if anyone had any thoughts on some things I could check out before going down this road.

this is a great writeup, i did this put it in and still got a click, so out it came and i did an even more thorough cleaning than just the blades, its amazing the nasty stuff behind..as well i lubed some areas up with 3 in 1 oil...now its silent..also be easy on re-tightening it as if it is too tight it may cause ticking.

If you decide to replace the unit, it takes about 10 minutes. I replaced mine two years ago after a few weeks of the blower making high-pitched sqealing sounds.

You can pull them apart and re-oil the motor, I've done mine a few times already and it's not that hard. They only need replacement when the motor's brushes wear out, but they usually begin to have the bearings squeak way before then.

This is a framing square (key to removing the squirrel cage without damaging it!!!):

Mine was clicking due to a shredded mouse that had somehow climbed in to the fan basket. There is a thread on it somewhere on YT. Hopefully you dont have to go through what I did.
