Default Blower motor squeal

So for the last few winters my blower motor will occassionally squeal before it warms up. Recently it does it almost every time I turn the air or heat on. The motor itself is fine but I know the bearing in the cage is dried out and sometimes hangs up for a second. Just did a crap ton of front end work and really want to avoid another major repair. Anyone have any luck cutting the seal and squirting some lubricant into the shaft? I know I should just replace it but im wondering if this would help
