I have gotten all I'm going to get from slapping the blower motor and need to pull the unit to replace the brushes. As it is ferocious cold right now, I want the motor out for as brief a period as possible. Does anyone have experience pulling the the blower motor in the 166? If so, special instructions? Also, which brushes am I looking for (M-41?)? I'd like to have the brushes on hand so that I can pull the motor - install the brushes - install the motor (bing-bang-boom).

Bing! Now that is exactly why this site is far and away better than anyplace else I could go for help. Where else am I going to learn that if I pull the glove box liner and rap the motor post, I may get a few more weeks of use out of the current brushes. As I have yet to locate new brushes I will be out there in about 20 minutes with the glove box open and hammer in hand. Thanks, Bill.
