Heater core/fan motor replacement, little questions:)

Hi I'm bonzo's son working on that 90' 240 wagon, heater core/ fan replacement. Just had a few little questions.
1) Is it easier to disconnect all the ventilation ductwork to get it out? Also on that note, what about those rubber hangers that hold the ductwork up? The two slide out easily but the other one in the middle looks like you have to break it to get the duct out??
2) I've read a couple of d.i.y. pictorials on this process but was wondering what exactly i DON"T need to take apart.. Kind of backwards i know, but i was thinking maybe i could get away with not taking the whole dash out, or maybe not taking the
duct controls(floor/d-frost/etc..)right in front of the shifter out..
3) If anybody has any good advice after doing this themselves, or warnings for that matter i would greatly appreciate it, since this is my first time attempting something this big..
Thanks, Caylen

    Hi Caylen,

    On your first question, I am having trouble picturing the rubber hanger in the middle. I remember those that hold the ductwork to the dash at the defroster vents, but the middle one you mention has me baffled.

    Your second point is well taken. Just remember, my pictorial was not intended as instructional, but documentary - of a first timer at that. If you look a little further on my web site you will find the "official" volvo instructions for the heater motor replacement in the climate control manual pages. I'm sure they would not steer anyone toward removing things unnecessary to the job given its intended audience of paid professionals.

    On your third question, I can only suggest you have a warm place to do this if possible. I offer my condolences to you if you must do this in bitter cold weather. Sorry.

      Thanks for your response, and thanks for the website, i checked out the official instructions and they seem very helpful. I still didn't notice them mention the rubber hanger i'm talking about, but maybe i'll try to post a picture of it.
      I'll be back on the job after new years, so i'll let everyone know how it goes then.
