heater motor removal?

is it possible to remove the heater motor without removing the whole unit? i have a dodgy connection (or worn bushes) and was thinking of just whipping the old one out and maybe replacing with a second hand motor.
has anyone tried this? the clutch pedal seems to be in the way. :confused:

Not sure on this one mate but I reckon if anyone knows it'll be VVC Steve as he probably sells them so has experience removing them. Might be worth PMing him here or on .org

thanks kara, will pm him and have a firkle with it while the bairn is asleep.

If you don't have A/C it's much easier to work on.

no a/c, just want to get the fan and motor out of the blower assembly.

ooops, resistor pack has just fallen down a hole in the cars shell:shake:
but i did manage to get the motor out, so off to the repair shop to see if they can get it running.
no idea how to get the pack out of the bodyshell :dunno:

Excellent mate! Glad you got it sorted! If you're happy with the service received from them then please leave feedback about them in the Feedback section of the site.

You can't do it and not share how you did it. That's just rude

i would have loved to do a how to with pics an all, allas you need three hands just to remove the blower motor, the top screw of the three is a pain in the ass to get out. however it would be easy to repeat now that i know what im doing. oh, i cant post pics on here at the moment as not paid up yet.:whistle:

Just sounds like excuses to me.

Glad it is sorted now though, winter is nearly here.
