Already been down that road, it's a pain in the ass.
Good luck!

That is the reason I have done without a blower for the last 14 years.

Nah, not that bad. Actually the hard part is splitting the plastic case to get the motor out. Getting that far is like lego.
The plus side is you realise you have masses of room for speaker pods. Mine sound superb and nothing on show.

have a look for the thread that was started a week or so ago about what other 'little' jobs to do whilst you have the dash out

I'm planning on putting the new speedo cable in and replacing all the bulbs to led. I would fit a new LCD clock I can't find one?

Been there, agree with Covkid on splitting the box. It was as stressful as bomb disposal.

I think Brickwerks sells metal clips to put it (heater box) all back together gain.

I took it out - cleaning was painful, can't imagine doing it with part in the dash still. But I did have to drill a screw

I did this job about 12 months or so ago..... only to find my early van does not have a heater blower
.... good practice taking it all apart though.....
