Replace blower moter

How much work is it to replace the blower motor? On a scale of 1-10?? I was reading thru the manual and it says I will need to remove the whole dash to get to it. Is removing the dash a big chore? I was guessing it might take me 4 hours is this correct. Or is this a job better left to the pros? Then bentley manual had mentioned something about some one time use fittings or rivets.... will I need to buy anything other parts to put it back together.

Uhenry, You will need the Bentley manual to to this project and at least 8 hrs. It's not difficult but a tedious job. I enjoyed it but yes you do have to take off your whole dash, steering wheel, center console, glove box ect...

Wallyx5,
Do you need any specialty tools to remove the dashboard and where can you get this insert specialty tools. I get the instruction and get ready to do the blower motor.

Thanks,
henry

No special tools that I can remember. I used the little plactic pry bars here there. But the only thing I remember I needed was patiences and don't try to skips steps you everything has a order to come apart. Also be careful when doing the airbag area there are a couple of connector cables you have to disconnect and you do not want to break them or you will have to replace the cable. It's really not that difficult of a job.
