We were really stuck today trying to get the fan off of the motor and yours is the only video we found that gave us the information we needed to remove it. We appreciate you SO MUCH!!! Thank you for the tips and for saving us $50 on a new one!
I'm 41 years old I've been working on ford my whole life and I can't tell you how many of these blower motor fans I have busted. Tried your tip work like a charm I'll never do it any other way thanks for the advice man much appreciated.
You're a lifesaver! 90°+ and I'm having to put a new blower motor on in 98 CVPI.
Was so frustrating.
How did us driveway mechanics ever do this without TH-cam in the 70s?
The hard way. Lol
My blower motor just went out in my 1996 5.0 Explorer and I will be replacing it soon. Thank you for this video. This information will be of tremendous help.
thanks man! so much appreciation for guys like you that take the time to post helpful videos like this!
This video was very helpful! My replacement motor didn't come with a new retainer clip so I was able to use vice grip pliers to pull straight up on the clip to pull it off intact and able to be reused
Thanks bud. I've been looking for a perfect video just like this one for days!
Thanks. I don’t think I would have got this off without this video. If there is corrosion on the motor shaft, clean it off before attempting to pull the fan off. You have to be patient just as the creator says. Also the flat style pry bars work better.
Thank you very much. This was helpful.
Thank You So Much; After Suffering Thru So Many Tubes That Just Showed Changing The Entire Assembly, This Video Was The Ticket 👍
Thank you for getting me on the right track. For a minute I thought I'd have to buy another cage because it was stuck on so tight. I held the unit by the cage and tapped the shaft lightly with a hammer until the shaft was flush with the top of the cage then used your method the rest of the way.
Thank you so much, I looked everywhere for what I needed to replace and came across this! Good help! 😁
Definitely helpful, once I saw how this worked and what was important I sprayed a bit of lubricant and I took a flathead and banged on the motor rod itself while my gf supported the fan and it popped right off. I attempted the pry method but I knew I would probably break it. Thank you!
Thanks, exactly the info I needed. Short and to the point!
Just cracked the fan of my replacement motor for my 2008 Expedition this video saved the day as far as reusing the old one greatly appreciated
Thanks a lot, man! I used just 2 screw drivers, was patient and it worked!
Great video! Was struggling on how to remove the motor blower fan on my excursion! You rock!
I needed this!! Thank YOU!!
Nice trick, thanks for posting it!
A thin coating of silicone grease on new shaft makes it easier to come off in future blower motor replacement, either for you- or the next owner.
thanks for the video man.. just saved me 20 bucks.. cheers
New blower motor comes with a new clip and gasket? Where? Is there a secret compartment in the box?
Didja buy the Motorcraft one?
@@HylianOverlord probably, because it's the spiritual successor to FoMoCo
@@ryankane7177 what are you on about?
@@HylianOverlord I generally buy the Ford stuff when I can. It used to be called FoMoCo, now it's called Motorcraft.
@@ryankane7177 I knew that I was referring to the way you went on a none sequitur.
Very handy tips. Thanks for taking time and posting. Love to see more on ford windstar.
I will make more as they come in for sure.
Thanks! Helped me not break the fan blade on my 76 ford elite!
This trick worked perfectly. My hubby had it off in just a few minutes. He was totally lost before coming across this video.
Thanks I was afraid to pry on mine cuz it looked so fragile and that thing was really stuck on there.
Great idea. How old of a Ford truck is this off? I have a 1964 Ford f250 and I need to check to see if the motor has gone out since it will not come on with the switch in the cab.
Do you have a video on how to replace a Blower motor for 2007 Expedition with Automatic controls? Everything say pull 3 bolts....but that's not the case on mine.
Thanks bro a life saver!!!!
You saved the day. Thank you for your video.
Hey thank you so much. I used your method and it totally works.
Thanks Bro! Very helpful 👍
Thanks this was helpful as I am tryna get it off rite now n put it on my new blower motor

saludos desde Venezuela, gracias a tus videos he podido reparar muchas cosas de mi pick up, f150 2006 5.4 3v
How do you take it out of a 61 Thunderbird?
Can you please do one on how to access blower motor on 2015 ford Transit connect
Exactly what I was looking for
I have a question I have 2004 ford f150 the blower motor stopped working an my ac compressor. I took out the blower motor an tested it with a battery it worked fine I also checked the connection to it with key on the plug has no 12 volt power to it is there a relay that controls blower an ac compressor or a fuse. thanks for your help nice videos.
Martin Valdepena hvac Fuse
Thank you so much, it works for me 👍
Great video
Always a help👍
thanks for video man
omg, 98 navigator, black box?gear box? under glove box, needs moved out of way to get blower motor out, how do we do this?
You are the best, thanks
Most peeps are just getting aft. market ching ones with fans so they dont have to do this but i dont buy any of that crap ( autozone parts mostly dont even work out the box) if i can get oem. My quest, is though are you saying the fan is obselete ??? because when they get old they explode in the housing, but i def, want oem motor and ill buy, if have to an aft. market later just for the cheap ass fan. thanks ford tech, and if you can answer quest,........ are fans themselves (mine 2003 f250 5.4) obselete ???
I just got a bolt and tapped the motor shaft till it was flush. then a smaller bolt that fit inside the cage. came right off....from a 1990 Aerostar van. use a spray lubricant as well before u begin .
I was confused regarding the clip. So I ended up using a pair of pliers to bow it into a concave shape to get it off, and then used a 5/16 socket to knock it back onto the new one.
This was on a 1994 Cougar.
Great tip thankyou
Bruh I had trouble getting the fans off my blower motor for my accord. Used two long flatheads and held it with my legs lmao. Thank you bro.
You are the man
wooow 😁. it works like a charm with patients. i was clueless like a cave man.
but i did it like tony stark(IRON man) way lol. with my thighs holding it and use a long screwdriver one side and turn and lift a lil and repeat 🔂.
Thanks pal... I was bashing the shit out of it...
You saved my Bacon...
Thank you
Thank you, i need to replace my blower motor in my Dodge neon, and no one sells them with that cage and except you no one shows how to remove that wheel/cage.
Thanks!
worked thanks ~
John Cork I figured it would help someone.
Thank you!
No problem!
My 07 fusion does not have a cabin air filter, is it a good idea to open the blower motor housing to clean it?
Do i have to pull out the dash to do that?
Thanks
Not really needed unless you park under trees or drive a dusty gravel road often. You do not have to pull the dash.
Thankyou!
Thanks! It worked. Got the sucker off.
Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!!!
For those who are removing this " wheel " as he describes , I did and I did another thing ... I took a hair dryer and blew it on the face of the plastic wheel ... blew on it with dryer for around 1.5 minute ... right ?
It came right off applying pressure on it as video states to do . I guess heat helps
He forgot to mention the most important tool. The vise clamping down and holding it while you do that
You saved me hours of profanity.
where do i get a squirrel cage???
Joel Rios I know the dealer can get them.
Joel Rios Amazon has them
Saved my ass also tap the top part with a piece of wood
Spray somem Wd40 it make it so easy
hahaha new clip :)... so another way is to ask a pair of hands to hold the fan and tap on the axle with a lil hammer, motor is fucked anyways so ... that always werks for me
Probably should've cleaned the wheel off before putting it on the new motor and reinstalling back into the car or truck....
If packed with enough dirt or debris to cause an imbalance yes but that was not the case with this unit. Here's why you don't want to clean it, you see those little black clips randomly placed on the fins? Those are balancing weights, do you really want to risk knocking those off by cleaning it thereby causing an imbalance and terrible vibration all because it looks dirty so you just couldn't leave it alone.
Tada!!!!
I am a Ford guy but that is the only thang i don't like about them
Thank you
