I have a clare furnace model # HEM8 90-8 direct vent. The blower motor started making a lot of noise so I removed it and checked it out. There is a fan blade inside and it broke free from the piece that slips over the shaft. I tried to get it to stay which it did for a bit and it started making the noise again. I guess I need at a minimum a new fan blade or a new blower motor, the problem is I can not find one anywhere. The information I got of the blower motor is as follows: Model Emerson K33HXCFE-964 Volt 120 RPM- 3450 Pt.No. M-053 Mfg. No. M008.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It's a 3.0 amp 3200 rpm Electrohome with a 5/16 drive shaft. I have no idea how to post a photo on here

We have a Clare brothers furnace Model CMD080NH3R serial #960221187. I would like to know how many BTU this furnace is and if it's a high or mid efficiency.

My guess would be 80%, minimal efficiency today, with a 96,000 BTU input.
