Any chance you can post up some pictures of your busted fan and motor so I can see what it looks like on the inside?

AWRIGHT BOOTOWN! Off to the dumpster
The first picture is the back end of the plastic housing. Note there is a small plastic cover removed (not shown). That does open up the metal motor housing, and is probably the correct way to lube, push the motor out.
If you look at the bushing you can see there is felt around it for lubrication purposes.
Then I have two pics of the shaft end. You can see that there is a flat on the shaft, and also a groove.
You also have access to the motor brushes and the commutator from this side with the fan off.
Lastly, here is a link of a guy who did successfully disassemble them, but with no instructions.
