[s-cars] squealing crickets associated with HVAC system

[Tom Green]

Bob,

Just because it is a little blower doesn't make the fix any smaller  
than the
big blower fix.  : > )

1,  remove the center dash AC vent grill
2,  remove the airbox immediately behind it.
3,  then you can see the assembly with the assistance of a mirror and
assess what fasteners to remove.
OR,  remove dash and turn it upside down.

URS4.com or this list had some reports on this repair around the turn  
of the
century.

A shot or two of Kroil down the right hole might help with  
constipation, but I
doubt there is much benefit here.  : > )

I didn't see any reservation for S//Fest from you this year.  : > (
