I am getting a new blower motor put in my gas furnace (Bryant 330AAV
upflow). The technician recommends changing the capacitor as well
since the blower motor will not spin freely, he says that the capacitor
has had extra strain on it trying to turn the blower. This makes sense
to me but I wanted to run it by some folks just to make sure I'm not
being snookered. Please comment, thanks

It's a good idea to replace it. They do go bad occasionally so update
them at the same time.
