Tested the blower this morning and its running well on high (12v) and medium speed (when CCP is set to Auto) - just not on low. I can live with that for the time being... with alittle luck I'll find a used one is a scrap yard ths weekend, otherwise a new motor is in order.
CDPlayer; I was wonder just that peticular thing this morning - how to get the old cages off. From what I see on the net the diffrance between motor with/without cages is around $80 I'll give it a shot when it comes time to swap out motors.
Cheers for now.

Just for practice, before your new motor comes in, and if your cage is in good order, try knocking one of their motors free at the junk yard.
At least it will give you an idea of what to expect. Take a hammer and a punch with you. I found a punch with a flat tip worked best than one with a pointed tip. Remember, a couple of good strikes is all it takes.
