A/C-Heater blower motor fix

[Steven Hauptmann]

"I seem to remember posts..."
Maybe this is wrong, sorry if that's the case.


"a friend w/ a 5ktq did it), and may require some force to get it out...but
I know it can been done."
Oops, that should read... can be done. :)
Well, it was assumed on my part (from my experience with my friends car)
that a 5ktq heater box is the same as the ones on our cars. I am pretty sure
they are, and if they are the same....then it can be done.
It may not be pretty, and may require some ingenuity and brute force....but
it can be done on a 5ktq.

Steve, I believe that yours is wrong advice, having done two.  The blower
can not be removed without first removing the heater air box from the car.
