I took the blower out of our 92 to replace it, and it appears that the blower cage is pressed on. I can see little, rusty, splines on the shaft, and no nut, nor threads for a nut. The replacement motor has a nut on the end to hold the cage on. I've hit the stud with PB Blaster and after sitting a while, tapped on it with a small hammer. No budge.

Is it really pressed on, and, if so, what's the trick for getting it off? Thanks.

I remember when I pulled mine out from storage after 8 years I had the most problems with the HVAC system. Needed a new blend door, blend door lever (which sucks to find intact and to remove), had to make one control assembly out of two, two blower motors (one initially then one years later as more stuff got sucked in) of course tons of vacuuming and had to patch a break in the heater box.
