Bearings are cheap


I never met a customer who wanted to pay $300.00 parts and labor to install new bearings in a $100.00 condenser fan motor. ???


If the OP was going to call a contractor, we would not be having this
conversation.
OTOH bearings are about $10 each, less if you got them online (then
more like a couple bucks) and would take 20 minutes to replace once
you got the motor on the bench.

I fix pump motors all the time and I keep a bunch of the common
bearings here.
