Stephen,

I wish I could type well enough to cover all the ins and outs of replacing
the blower motor but instead, I will tell you the single most important step:
DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FIRST.  Now that is "first" as in before you spark
something which reminds you to do it.  After that, it is just a matter of
methodically undoing everything and, of course, putting it back together.  If
you have the resources, this is the time to install a NEW heater core.  Take
heart, it is not really that bad as long as you allow plenty of time for it.
