CX-9 Blower Motor Replacement: What Others Don't Tell You! - How to Remove and Install on 2011 Mazda

Our 2011 Mazda CX-9 had the original 13 year old fan that was taking a long time to come up to speed. As you can see, I had a tough time uninstalling it. It wasn't terrible, but it's important to know what to expect before installing. The replacement fan from Amazon works great and is available with my paid affiliate link below (Thank you if you decide to buy!). I received this a day after ordering and it runs quietly and gives a powerful blast of air.
