Hey y'all, been a while.

1982 240d here.

Ya know when the climate fan knob gets tough to move?

Well instead of lubricating the line behind the glove box, I just kept muscling fan. Until one day, my knob snapped. It won't move an inch now.

It's not as easy of a swap as I was expecting. I can physically see what I need to change, I just can't get to it!

I found a very in-depth writeup that indirectly addresses this issue: PeachPartsWiki: Replacing the A/C Evaporator

... But I was wondering if there's a shortcut to removing the fan switch? Or do I actually need to do all those steps just to replace the fan speed knob?

Any advice would be hugely appreciated, thank you!!
