Just can't stay away

Thanks, Howard.

That's what I'm doing. In order to get to the two screws that are hardest to reach, I went to Harbor Freight and bought one of these. They're just short sheet metal screws, but with a slot head, it's hard to get a good grip on them to break loose.

Hopefully, this will work.

Well, this is proving to be quite a challenge. Has anyone taken one of these blower motors off before?

Yes, and it is not easy to get at the screws holding the motor assembly to the housing.
I have usually done it when removing the entire heater assembly but believe it can be done by removing the large hoses and taking out the two 1/4" hex head screws on the mounting bracket for the blower assembly.to allow the blower to slide forward from the heater box.

Howard is right, just take those 6 screws out and it will come apart. They are self tappers so they WILL come out if you can just grab the screw and get it to turn. I have gotten ones out with a vise grip that were too pitted to even turn with a screwdriver.

Do not try to remove the squirrel cage fan from the motor shaft.
