all right here she is don't whine missing bumper don't mind the mud
all right we get let's cruise you go get one
two three four five this little guy over here six seven eight
I mean that should get our glove compartment off all right we got two hiding in the back
and the whole thing will just gently come out and you want to be careful because this this
wire right here might be kind of tight kind of tight we're fixed to something there's a
little little snap right there I think I removed that on a prior expedition into
here so we're just going to disconnect this and then remove the whole [ __ ] apartment
all right now this piece this whole piece right here is one assembly it cost you like 300 bucks
so we're gonna take this apart and see if we can't just extract that motor out of there and
use the new one hopefully it's the same size and everything it won't have to do too much
modification okay next things next there's two 10 millimeter screws two 10 millimeter
bolts one looks like this and the other looks like this this one is attached way back here on
the firewall right there and this one is right there and after you get those two off you can
finagle this whole thing out one thing is that you want to remove this plug first it catches
into the bottom of right there and then you just kind of wiggle this whole thing out replace your
filter because this is nasty okay so this is the piece that cost 300 bucks right here and
we're just gonna undo this screw and pull that motor out and hopefully it's the same diameter
and everything as the new one that we bought okay this is the real need of the project right here
I'd screw this screw all right now this part just pulls right out of here you can see I
don't know lots of black shmoo in there let her probably burned it up burned it up pretty good
yeah we can take a look at that a little bit later maybe see what the failure mode
was here lots of black in there huh they look pretty close let's see if this one fits down
in there nope he's used to it's too big man I cut myself something inside there is very
sharp took a chunk right off the finger you can see you just kind of a deep little skin
chunk came off there alright so another question that I have is this has its own kind of plastic
housing on it so perhaps we can remove that plastic housing off of this piece and then
stuff that down in there so let's try that now this is actually metal right here the problem
is that it comes as this whole big unit in this piece costs like three hundred and fifty dollars
and the blower motor is integral to it so what we've done is we've liberated the blower motor
from this little recess here and we're going to cut us a bigger hole so that we can place this
mounting plate on it kind of like that there so that motor will be able to fit through and we're
also going to have to solder on some wires so we can bring that through and get it connected up
get us a tungsten carbide cutting bit here and it looks like it'll
be controlled enough to be able to use so I start with that one
okay so there will be a lot of friction and you will melt plastic all over your
tungsten carbide bit that just pulls right off and it looks like we got mush
the way around it but dudes the melty nature there's still stuff stuck on it
looks like we're gonna need the extra clearance
we're gonna go ahead and remove this bit right here
so there we go it looks like it fits for the most part for the most part
nothing
looks like it will work but
shrink wrap tubing some wire
yeah yeah that's the noise I make when I burn myself so this is probably one
of those cases of bigger the job the better the job so that's what we're gonna do want
to make sure I've got good electrical contact in here get a gap shrink wrap
here this is what makes your work go from jerry-rigged to profession now
oh yeah professional rotation of my hand
alright so this is what we got now the wires trailing out of it looks super here we have
a $300 assembly at the brand-new 35 or $40 motor we've just exemplified the fact that
we have more time than money and cut a big old hole in the top of this big ol hole on
the bottom of this and soldered wires to the motor and now we've got to mount this with
base plate to the bottom of our assembly and we have to do so such that this spins freely
wherefore art thou
okay guys so I got excited and I jumped ahead a little bit here I installed the motor on to
the assembly put some weatherstrip tape in there it's this stuff right here got it at Riley's for
$9.99 weatherstrip tape self adhesive you peel it off so that there'd be an air seal because it's
got it's got these raised little ridges here and then I installed the air pipe keep in mind this
is necessary to take cooler air and ventilate the bottom of the motor so that the motor can cool off
if you don't have that if you have a friend kick this off - that burned out motor don't do that now
I'm just gonna go ahead and get this thing wired up to there we're gonna just double check the
rarity when we do that make sure air is going in the right direction and that's gonna be it
of course getting the assembly back in all we did was we put that melt in and put that molt
in after some fiddle farting around getting this thing past all the wires and all that
stuff and then we're gonna put our brand-new air filter and we'll have nice coal here give
me some shrink wrap tubing we always like to put those on before we start doing our
soldering because then we'll forget about them here we go just move it up the piece of work
we're gonna be the same to the other I know this one's gonna go here and
I got that one temporarily lashed off so I know that guys I dropped wire or something
like that they just don't know that that one is for that so let's go ahead and get
this solder alright so there we have some really ugly starters but they're strong
and there we go oh yeah
that feels good and we saved ourselves $300
