RE: Fresh Air Blower

["Patrick Bureau" <pbureau@home.com>]

heheh you have to get that passenger side bolt from under the dash
on the passenger side under the dash (remove the bottom tray first.

It took a little seeking and finding the bolts locations, as I
recall it (I did this with the help of my brother about 3 months
ago so the details are a little vague)
the details of the how to in the Bentley are to take the dash apart
but I found that the Haynes in this case was simpler to follow.

basically that passenger side square paneling (fresh air entryway)
has to be removed first. this includes disconnecting 2 lines of
vacuum from the inside of the cabin (you well find the bolts there
as well)
then the big bowl (covering the actual fan) has one bolt accessible
from inside driver side and the others should come out from the
rain tray (weird setup but I did not build the car eh!) once the
two are off, there is the fresh air fan unit sitting right there...
2 bolts to take it out as I recall.

if you need complete step by step let me know I can copy the
details of the Haynes for ya.
