If it's a capacitor-start motor, there will be a centrifugal switch actuated by weight(s) on the rotor; you'll need to be careful of the linkage when you take it apart. You will need to determine if the bearing grease has gotten extremely thick or if the bearings are frozen. If the former, you might, as Rich hinted, be able to loosen up the grease by adding back the low-viscosity components without taking the bearings apart. If the latter, you will have to get the bearings out to replace them.
