Neither the service manual or the parts book provided me enough information on removal of the firewall-mounted defroster fan assembly. Apparently a previous owner of my parts car had difficulty as well, as it was cut/ripped out.
I have the 3-bolts removed from the outside firewall "ring" black containing the fan motor and I have the inside metal cover off exposing the fan blades and the tubes/coil associated with the defroster unit.
However, obviously unable to get the defroster either way through the firewall. See no more nuts or bolts to remove. Tried holding onto the fan blades and took the center small nut off but that didn't seem to help. My guess would be the cylindrical motor assembly should be pulled off/out from the outside, but I see no way of going either in or out? What's the secret I'm missing?
