[s-cars] Heater Blower

[Mark Pollan]

Agreed on the brushes.  I have had a brand new squirrel box sitting around
for about 4 years and it will go in.  As far as the heater core is
concerned, I plan on leaving well enough alone there.  BTW Eric Kissel was
kind enough to send me the modified/updated "steak knife" procedures so...

Regards,

Mark Pollan

Having recently watched / tried to helped a little with the BFScrew
Driver/pry bar beating on the fan housing blower assembly etc. in an older
model 1989 or so 200 Q, my question, other than cost reasons alone, would be
"Why just brushes?"

Removing & replacing the blower assembly seemed (heck was) a pretty big pain
in the A***.  I would really hate to go through something like that to find
out shortly after putting the bugger back in I needed new fan bearings or a
heater core.

Anyone got a check list of other things to consider doing while in there?

~brush.  Worked for me.
