My AC died and the only way to sniff all the lines and compressor etc. is to remove my Vortech blower. I installed it myself, so I'm pretty handy.

My question is this: Can the blower itself be removed WITHOUT removing the mounting bracket?

Basically, it's mounted on the bracket by 4 bolts. One seems to be pretty low, is it reachable?

Thanks

 

I think the bracket will probably be easier. It's tight in there. I remember looking at it, but we said the hell with it and removed the bracket.

 

Remove the whole thing together

 

Yes its easy to remove the blower with out the bracket . You access the bolts [ lower ones ] threw the wheel well . Take off the tire and the front plastic wheel well [ easy ] Once off you will see and be able to get to the oil feed line and the fourth bolt holding the blower on the bracket . The blower even drops down into the wheel well to remove it .

 

Sweet, thanks booger.

I want to do this with as little labor as possible, because the only reason I'm taking it out is to find a leak with the AC and fix it.
