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.

While putting things back together, is appears parts of the air ducting have been repaired. That, or they used what looks like black RTV to put the under dash ducts together.

I finally got things put together and running. Yaay OEM 'replacement' parts, again!! The blower switch, although it looked the same, definitely was NOT. I think I got something that would work, though. I tried running a strip of sheet aluminum from the existing hole to the other side, but it wouldn't fit with the screws I was using. I decided to drill a hole in the strip to put over the knob stud, then use the lower OEM mounting spot to secure the bottom of the switch.

Note that the old switch has been kind of warm.

While putting things back together, I did discover that the radio in our car, a regular AM/FM radio, was apparently 'bueno':

The HVAC/radio cover plate was missing a screw, so I reinstalled the screw that goes behind the under-dash cover. I need another. Any idea where I can get more of these Torx-head screws, other than a junk yard?

Glad THAT'S over!! Now, I can get back to installing the emblems and side molding on our SVO!!
