[s-cars] chirping bird in dash

[Mark Pollan]

What kind of steak knife?  :-)  Seriously though as I did follow the
archived procedure (exception being cutting the duct), and maybe because the
seal had been "curing" for in excess of 15 years but that stuff would not
let go.  And.getting a good bead of silicone at the bottom edge of the
blower housing was out of the question for me.  I did not so much care on
the old girl but with the //S.

 

Regards,

 

Mark

A search of the q-list archives for "steak knife" might prove helpful.

When I did this on my 5KCSTQ, the most difficult aspect for me was breaking
the housing free from the firewall without breaking the blower housing.  I
was successful with the first thing but not the second.  Also, unless you
have arms resembling a snake, I don't know how you can fully/properly reseal
the housing to the firewall.

How did you all manage I ask in preparation for the inevitable.

Regards,

Mark

Michael,

I replaced my blower motor, it isn't a fun task but it isn't too
difficult. I had to do mine twice because the first blower motor I
installed was defective. My second install only took 30 minutes.

Here is the repair write up:

You can do it pretty easily yourself, good luck.
