Re: Blower motor removal

Easiest way is not favored by many people: Loosen the hood hinge bolts and scootch the hinge a bit, pop out/in the new blower motor and set hinge back in place.

I understand if you have a perfect truck with perfect panel gaps, you'd probably rather sell your soul to the devil than mess with any panel movement, not sure if there are other ways.

Not hard to get it back into the same place. Inner fender can be marked and there are witness marks from the washer on the bolt to get it back where it was

I do as mentioned by kwmech. Mark around the base of the hinge, mark around the washers on the bolt and remove all but one. It's always easier with 2 people...
