Warren, you will need to remove the entire dash to get at the heater
blower.

Scarey idea isn't it???

I may be speaking out of turn here, because I have not done it, but it
has been done by list members many times, and I think there is a web
site that shows the steps. The biggerst difficulty as I gather from all
my reading, is that it take a bit of time - all day project, and it must
be done methodically. Beyond that, it's not that big of a task.

Mechanical experience or not, this is one job I don't think I would want
to farm out to a shop or a garage. It will cost you a small fortune to
go that direction.

I'm sure there are list members who can point you in the direction of
pictures of this procedure on the internet somewhere.

C'mon list members!  Pony up!!

Just words of encouragement, Warren. Go for it.
