heater box

["Jeffrey L. Day" <shikaze@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am sure this subject has probably been worn out on the digest, but I
am new, so maybe somebody could help me out, or point me to the proper
info on the archives or something. The blower on my 83 528e a/c started
sounding strange (almost like a leaf was stuck in it or maybe a bearing
is getting bad) and then it suddenly stopped. When the fan seized my
fuse blew. I took the panel off and moved the seized fan with my hand,
after which it worked fine for a few moments and then started sounding
bad again. So....I decided to take fan out and check the motor, or see
if something was stuck in it. What a pain! I can't get to the doggone
thing. I check the manual and it looks like a tremendous undertaking,
complete with removing all the coolant from my a/c system? Since I just
paid to have the coolant replaced two weeks ago, I do not relish the
idea of doing it again. Any shortcuts to fixing this problem?
