Well, Bentley has a pretty good description of how to pull the thing, the fun starts after you get it out. Mine had about 1/2" of pine needles in there as well as the usual black sludge. I've not had to pull the motor yet, but I think it would be easier to get another box and stick that in than trying to find a replacement motor. Probably one of those welded-together wonders anyway that you can't get apart to work on. The box itself has clips on the edge that you can pull off to split it and get at the innards. Basically figure on spending most of a morning getting it out, you have to get a lot of stuff out >from under the dash. You might consider pulling the wiper assembly at the same time, renewing the shaft seals and lubing it up, too, while you've got it all torn out. Just make sure you get the battery disconnected, there's lots of live connections in there. <,My first question is how do you get to the fresh air fan under the dash? It <spins but it makes a terrible squealing noise. When I first got the car it <worked until I turned it up to high speed then it started to squeal and now it <does it all the time.
