Default '87 GT Heater Fan Motor..

This is becoming a pain in the ****.

According to my manual, replacing the heater motor is simple. No such luck. Anyone replaced the heater motor in an 87 and up GT? Do I have to take the dash apart, as it looks??


Any help would be appreciated!

I was thinkin about that, but I couldn't see how it would clear the firewall. Let alone get the mounting screws out...

read well LOL

Get a big bar and the biggest hammer you can find drive the bar in>>>>>> the groung
save the hammer to hit the next person that walks up and ask what you are doing.
The bar is to lean on and look at the stang when you get done

Then

Remove glove box lid then the heater box is held in with I think 3 or 4 small screws
remove them the box will be lose it will take some moving around but it will come out then you can get to the fan motor about 3 hr for a first timer not to bad.
( the glove box is not required but makes it easer I think

I pulled as many screws as i could find under there, didn't seem like it wanted to slide out. I'll have to try again.

Any more tips?
