Bill Chebb - bcheb@sprint.ca. I did manage to get the blower motor out. Not an easy task by any means, but it is possible. I dont know if it will be easier to get a new one in or not but I did not have to drain the coolant. The motor looks shot, is still siezed and will not run no matter how I hook it up. I sent an email of to Bill to ask if he does indeed carry a replacement for this one with the ball bearing upgrade. The local Canadian Tire store say's that they can get one in one day for $43 cdn. but it for sure would not have the ball bearings. I think I may have saved a small amount of time so far by not removing the entire unit and I will find out how much of a job it is to get the new one in later. Thanks Kevin
