I have a GE PowerVent Model#GG40T6PF00 water heater with a noisy motor. I've taken it apart a couple of times but can't figure out how to get oil to the front motor bearing. I can't find a way to access a set screw to remove the blower wheel, so I assume it's screwed onto the motor shaft. If so, it should unscrew in the same direction the motor turns to avoid unscrewing when running. They want half the price of a complete new water heater for a new blower assembly. How can I access the front motor bearing and remove the blower wheel?

The front motor bearing on your GE PowerVent water heater is likely sealed and not field serviceable...
