Any easy ways to remove the blower motor? (safely)

[Chargeraddict]

My blower motor seized on my 68 and I unhooked all the wires and undid the 3 screws on the outside of the housing like the manual said but she will not come off! I have actually done damage now trying to get it off   I just wondered if you guys have any tricks before I have to rip the dash and console apart and pull the heater box right out.

the blower fan must be getting stuck with housing/firewall... just need to be sure to remove COMPLETELLY CENTERED. Not too much clearence between fan and cut out.

Some tricky but can be made.

I really don't see how you can get the motor out without taking the whole heater box out of the car. I'm in the middle of restoring my heater box and I could barely get the motor seprated from the squirrel cage with the box completely torn apart.

Wait, is this an A/C or non-A/C unit?

both units should it be able to be removed on same way. The firewall cut out is in fact bigger than the heater/AC box, by a hair, but still bigger, so if you get problems trying to remove on car, will be the same with box out of the car, just that more comfortable.

as stated, the FAN needs to be perfectly centered on hole. Fan is practlicaly same size than the hole. FITS TIGHT.
