Good afternoon all,

The vent fan motor is getting a bit noisy so I investigated the possibility of removing the fan to identify if its a motor/motor bearing defect or the impeller.

I managed to get two of the three bolts securing the fan motor housing out, but the last bolt is stuck right in the recess where the footwell meets the underside of the fan unit and it looks like a pain to remove.

If I remove the glovebox mount metal strip and remove the ventilation unit (white lump) with the vent fan attached:

1. Will they come apart easily?
2. Are there any seals that will be damaged by parting the connection to the air con unit?
3. Does this unit weigh a tonne?

Even if I could somehow manipulate the last fan motor housing bolt in-situ, I'd never get it back in again..

Cheers,

Jamie
