Remove the torx screws from inside the blower top housing(where the cabin filter sits). There are 3 or four inside the housing. There are a couple along the outside edge and there are a couple pain in neck ones to get under the wireharness attached around the housing. There is one hidden on the right hand side underneath the sensor towards the back corner. You can pop the sensor out to get at it. Further the manufactured posts that attach the wiring(where they are zip tied at) can be removed instead of trying to cut the wire ties. You have to use pickel fork under the posts and slide firmly straight off. The plastic posts have a one way pinch washer on them and can be slid back on. Don't try and wiggle them off you will break the molded post off.

Once you get that rectangle housing out of the way you will see the blower and black plastic housing around it. Remove the two torx screws you can get at on the front of the housing corners, but there are two in the back that you will wonder how in th *** am I going to get to them. This is where you can cheat it out and back in, but it takes a little time. I used a 1/4 torx bit and attached a 1/4 swivel adapter to it. You can get it on the torx screw and then use swivel the adapter moving it to the side like a wrench to give you the torque to get it loose. Once it is loose you can get it out with finger strength.

Now once you get both of those out you can bend the plastic blower guard out with attached blower guard rings. Don;t worry you won;t break it just bend it towards you and you will be bending the blower box as well to get it out. Once that's out you will see a big metal center clamp holding the blower in place. There is a 12mm? with a philips head attaching it. There is another one behind it, but don;t bother trying to get it off. Just bend the clamp up enough to slip the blower out. Unplug it and put your new one back in. Bend the clamp down and put it back together.

One last thing when putting it back together remove the two blower shield circlular rings from the plastic housing. When you pry the plastic blower shield in place its a lot easier getting it centered and in correclty with those two blower rings off. Put them back in once you have the blower housing back in place. The screw on the right one is a pain to get back in, but you can do it with a little patience.

Total time out and back in 1.5hrs

Good luck!!
