I changed the blower resistor after it blew but a week later it blew again so I did some troubleshooting and all seemed OK so I suspected the blower motor bearing going. There was a very noticeable difference in the friction of the bearings between the old and new. The old one stopped immediately upon giving it a spin but the new one spun freely with ease.
Basically here are the steps to change the blower motor:
Tools Needed: Philips Screwdriver
1) Remove Glove Box (4 screws in corners plus 2 on latch plate)
2) Remove plastic power connector to blower motor located on right side of blower
3) Remove Plastic tube located on left side of Blower (New tube came with new Blower)
4) Remove three screws holding in blower motor and be careful not to drop screw on right side down into body like I did (#8 - ½" from your favorite hardware store). Motor will now drop down
5) Install new motor with the three screws.
6) Re-Attach plastic tube on left
7) Re-Attach power connector on right
8) Install Glove Box
9) Start Vehicle and test blower on all speeds
