Guys..I have the well-known issue with the blower motor dying. Replaced the resistor and that didn't help - still lots of groaning and the thing wouldn't work at all sometimes, then comes on all of the sudden, etc. So I bought a new motor and was installing it today but had to abort the installation.
Problem- I can't get the clamp back on! I can't pull it down enough to latch back onto that lip. In the back I hooked it through this little piece of rectangular metal which I am pretty sure is the right area, and I push the cylinder part of the motor as far down into the cradled area as it can go, but the da*n clamp won't come down far enough over the front! I spent 45 min trying to pull it down using pliars, needle nose, etc - no luck. Had to quit for the night. Now at the beginning when I pried it off I had to use a screwdriver and pry really hard like in photo 4-33 of section 14 of the Bentley manual--is it normally asinine tight?
Any tips/advice? What would happen if I don't clamp it down-can I get away with that?
Also-the fit is really tight, and the white cage is touching the side of the housing ever so sliightly, but I can't shove it over more to the left (there is a tiny bit of room for the left cage to move over) but the thing it sits in doesn't allow it to move more ot the left.
Sigh...any tips appreciated.
