Re: Seized Heat Blower
I thought it was easier than you guys made it sound.
Just make sure you are not in a rush.
Remove all the bolts and screws ( behind the grill too) and remember where they came from. (Photos)
Get the clips to put your heater box back together properly.
Do it undercover and have a led panel type light handy
Read the wiki
Google it
Wear some gloves as there are a lot of sharp bits
(Keep you first aid kit handy)
Just keep remembering you will have a heater again.
Go for it, took me 5 hours ish.

Re: Seized Heat Blower
Both our vans need this doing
The LeisureDrive one has just started squeaking. I did the drill a hole and spray grease thing but it only shut it up for a couple of days. The Tin-Top one is totally stuck
There seems to be 2 schools of thought, i.e. "it ain't that difficult, just go for it" and "jeez mate your in for a nightmare of a job"
Of course I suppose having a warm, well lit place to do it helps (I don't )
It's a shame there isn't a person around who has done it lots of times (experienced) that we could go to.
Anyone ?

Re: Seized Heat Blower
Just fitted new one today, still have to put it all back together, pain in the a*** but perfectly do-able.

Re: Seized Heat Blower
As above. You don't need a degree in mechanics to do the swap but its time consuming. You certainly don't want to be doing it with frozen fingers or when its bucketing down though.
