ChainsawMethod for resistor? 200 1989

Does Don Foster's "chainsaw" method of replacing the blower fan also provide the means to replace the resistor? Or can you only accomplish the blower fan replacement? I think (not sure) that the resistor is in the blower housing..true?

ChainsawMethod for resistor? 200 1989

Since no one else has asked I will (everybody else probably knows). What is Don Foster's chainsaw method of blower motor removal?

Foster's original post can be found here.

Also the addendum.

I actually used the Eagle Scout method although I was not an Eagle Scout.

The resistor is mounted with one of the blower motor's three mounting screws. If you can reach the motor, you can get the resistor out.
