Default Fan Squeak

Hey guys, my HVAC blower fan has started to squeak on startup. After a couple of minutes it goes away. Sounds like it might need some lube. I searched the threads for this and can't find anything helpful. My questions are: can this be fixed and, if so, anyone have the procedure? If it can't be fixed and the blower must be replaced, anyone have the procedure for that?

Thanks in advance for any help.
