The thing about the cobalt blower motors(fan) is that I believe that they actually need to be cut out to come come completely out. Also If i remember right when i called the dealer about it they said it would cost about 200$ for the part alone to get it fixed.

Sorry about the wrong section, I completely passed over that one I guess.
My god that looks like a PITA. If it fixes it I'll try it though, I'll do it when I get back from work in a couple days and let you all know how it goes. Maybe see if I can come up with some sort of solution that is less labour intensive. (Besides cranking the tunes
)

I have the same problem, dealership said it was the fan bearing that was blown, they quoted me $450 for the part and labour........ Basically my options are live with the noise or shell over that much money...... damn dealerships

Fans in the Cobalts click alot. Some are more noisey than others.
I've replaced the a/c blower in my last Cobalt 3 times and never completely got rid of the noise. This kind of repair falls under the 3 year /36k warranty. After that? Its 12/12 if you choose to pay the dealer for the work.

I still have not had time to do it, been working to much. I'm for sure going to try the silicone lube, but like the guy above me said where did you spray it? On the bearing?

I replaced mine last year. That blower motor for lack of better words..... blows. They all do. It makes the cutting easier if you take a small kitchen knife with a wooden handle and grind it down smalller and nice and sharp. Take a blow torch and get it glowing cherry and it makes cutting the plastic housing easy. Re-installing was easy, and I used some silicon to seal it so the car smelled for a couple days but mines been quiet ever since. Just replace it because any of the "quick" fixes just don't work.

I get my parts from a friend of mine who works for a chevy dealership because he gets them at cost most of the time but I have gotten plenty of parts from gmpartsdirect, and from rock auto. Gmpartsdirect is like 108 and Rock is like 125 or something like that. I think I paid 120 when I did mine.
