I'm sure I'll be corected if I'm wrong, but I think its pretty simple.. three bolts on the firewall and it pulls right out.. Hopefully I will get confirmation or a nogo..

Be sure to check the blower resistor before spending the money on a motor. My motor quit a while back, but it was just the simple $5 resistor that is mounted in the housing inside on the passenger side. ;)

how do i check it?

Well...mine was simple...when I removed it, it fell apart in pieces in my hand. If you have a multi-meter, you can test it for continuity. The thing with a resistor is, if it is bad the motor will typically run on one speed only (usually high), not just stop all together so you may be right about the motor if it is not working at all.

 

You can also do a simple test on the motor to see if it is really bad by running a direct hot wire to it from the battery and see if it runs.
