Subject:      halfway thru heater motor replacement - need advice!
Content-type: multipart/alternative;

hi list,
i know there has been lots o' talk about heater fan motor replacement recently, but im halfway thru the job and i need some advice.  ive gotten the dash off (jeepers, this was a pain in the ass), and ive done various electrical trouble shooting on the motor such as testing power/gnd to make sure it wasnt a simple fix (which it wasnt ;( ).  now i need to get at the blower moter, and ive cracked the seals on the heater assembly, but there appear to be some seals and/or retaining clips all the way in the back of the assembly, ie in the space between the assembly and the sheet metal the dash bolts down onto, totally unaccessable by human hands.  anybody dealt with getting this assembly apart in order to get at the blower motor?  did you run into this problem?  what did you do?  the only thing i can think of is to give it a good yank, and hope for the best ...
