How to change blower motor on a Carrier Furnace 58MCA-1551 part 1 of 2 for around $200

I was quoted to get an entire brand new furnace for $4500+ since the labor and parts to replace the blower motor, blower fan, and capacitor was over $1400.
In this video I show you how to replace the parts yourself for under $200.

Excellent presentation, thank you for sharing. I'm hoping replacing my starting capacitor will fix my problem but your video shows me what I'll be getting into if I need to replace the blower motor. Keep up the good work and thanks again!

Thank you so much for the detailed video. I just replaced the blower fan motor tonight (I have same furnace model so it was a bonus) and your tutorial video was so helpful. The parts cost just over $200 CAD vs calling in HVAC tech to do the work and I am sure it's much more. 👍🙏
