ISSUE & TIP

For all the techs who have cursed through a Volvo 240 model blower fan replacement, do yourself a favor and take the following words of advice:

Remove the steering wheel. You'll spend several hours crammed up under the driver's side of the dash and it's nice to have the wheel out of the way.
OEM replacement blower fans require extensive modification, milling, and grinding of the heater case. A good die grinder and a selection of both pointed and flat bits is a must.
While grinding, position an assistant on the opposite side of the heater with the shop vac to remove the plastic debris. You'll avoid getting a face full of plastic when the fan is turned on for the first time.
