Replacing Blower motor advice

[AD5OS]

Hey guys...

Well my blower motor went out at the beginning of a 30 hour drive from DC to Houston last week. SUCKED. so I got myself a new blower motor from the junk yard yesterday and I am cleaning up the blower box and fan but I saw that there are TONS of leaves and crap in the evaporator box... is there a good way to clean that crap out.. just vacuum it out or what?

This thread talks about some foam you can spray.. anyone ever use this stuff? Any suggestions?

yeah the more leaves and stuff you get outta there, the more effiencient it'll blow. B/c that stuff is essentially blocking the airflow through the evaporator. There really isn't a trick to it, When I did mine, it was sorta difficult actually getting the unit in through the tiny hole in the dash where the glovebox goes. The damn thing is so bulky.

But you just need to unbolt the dash a little bit. And it helps if you remove the ECU and TCU from underneath the pass. footwell to give you more space to maneuver it. But getting it in/out is what took the longest. Plan on this being an all day repair if you've never done it before. It took at least 6 hrs for me to figure all that out. But now, i'd say I can do it w/in an hour or two. They Haynes manual really helps.

I already have the blower out and the whole box... but the evaporator is still on there.. wish there was a better way of getting around it and getting the stuff out. I think I am going to get a long wire and try to get as much out and vacuum it up. then spray Lysol or something to help kill the germs. I might take compressed air and blow off any dust.

I used a tooth brush and my shop vac. I would be careful with anything metal poking a hole in the evap. The fins are really fragile you will notice.
