[s-cars] Htr Core Update 1

[Steve Mills]

I got mine completely apart without taking any pics or notes, and it would
have been a challenge to reassemble. Fortunately, I needed some parts that
were broken on my car, so I pulled a second complete blower assembly out of
a wrecked car and was able to use that as a reference. I was able to use a
long Phillips screwdriver and reaching into the housing to help guide the
flaps into their appropriate holes when reassembling- that part wasn't too
bad.

Once the blower housing is reassembled, the only real challenge is getting
the heater hoses back on. Make sure you change the valve before you put the
blower housing back in the car- it will never be easier to change.
