LEE_MA61 sold me a Blower Motor.

Thanks for looking!

I don't have one, but you can probably get this fixed for about $20 plus some labor. Most of the time the motor brushes are worn out and need replacing, which most small electric engine or alternator shops can do. But you first have to remove the blower motor. My recommendation for the first time is to remove the entire blower, then figure out how to pull off the motor. To pull the blower, you will probably need to hack saw off most of a stud going through the firewall that blocks you from dropping the blower.

Watch out for any vacuum hoses in the area around the blower, they are important.

Some people have removed the stud, but it is not neccessary. You can fix the motor or possible just clean it up. I doubt you will find the correct brushes for this motor at a local motor shop unless they carry metric size brushes. I believe they are available from Makita for an older model 12v drill.

Actually now that I think of it, there might have been a stud under there on the firewall! I think I just used my channel-lock pliers to bend it out of the way, or broke it off. It's not that big, so a Dremel with a cut-off wheel could even be used. Just now remembered this, so I thought I'd better let you know. It can be done with hand tools, out in the cold (like I did last February). Good luck!

I took it out today, there was no stud I had to cut or anything even similar. Just unscrewed 3 bolts and dropped it.

Perhaps the previous owner already cut or bent it off. :whatever:
