[V8] Blower Motor Replacement

[Dave Saad]

My personal recommendation is to do the job following the manual instructions (meaning no shortcuts that involve saws) and use a new motor.
IF you could find brushes that fit, and IF the bearings are OK you could get away with a rebuild attempt on the motor, but neither scenario is likely.
This is really not THAT hard of a job - it just takes some time, and the manual  walks you right through it.
If you were me, you would remove the hood for easy access, and you would add about $1000 to the job and replace the probably ready to burst heater hoses while you are in there.

just my 2.0E-2.
