Subject:      Installing new defroster/heater fan
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

My Bentley has no info on replacing the front heater/defroster electric fan.
I picked up a replacement from a wrecking yard and had to split open the "box"
that holds the fan and the heater core making a mess of the box to get to the
fan. I couldn't find any way to get at the fan without busting up the box.

Naturally I can't do this on my bus. How do I get the old squeeking fan out
and the "new" fan in. I realise the dash has to come off, then what?

Also if anyone's bought a fan recently please send along a heads up on the
price and or availability. I'm fearing it's a dealer only part if I want to go
brand new.

The winter is coming here in SoCal and with temperatures down in the 60s I'm
going to need to replace that squeeky defroster fan.

Thanks
