this video is very helpful just as it is. I do not understand the droll insult posted by ScottysDetailing. As an aside, when performing this procedure on an S10 Blazer, I would like to add the following: 1. There is a formed rubber shield that covers the fan motor and mounting screws that must be removed first. However, it is easier to simply cut the outline of the motor away, and leave the remaining cover intact. If you look closely, you will be able to see the outline of the piece to be cut away as it is intended. 2. The rear-most bolt that holds the coolant reservoir in place (closest to the firewall) must be removed prior to the motor exchange, for it will not allow proper alignment and will quite possibly cause breakage of the cage. This particular bolt can be removed easily through the wheel well. Thank you for the video. Ken
I have a '95 Blazer and have had a bit of a time getting that bolt that sticks up directly in the way of removing the lowest screw on the motor, and removing it.
That was AWESOME! Even though it was a little sped up, that must not have taken more than half an hour..........I was thinking of cleaning my blower fan(it has a little drag to it) and this is Just what I needed to see! Thank You!
I had been putting up with the fan noise for a couple of years but became so bad I looked for a good video and this one is perfect. I also had the same issue as Woodworkerpro and Shane Dial. The rear reservoir bolt is in the way but easily removed by "double nutting" it and tightened until it popped down and I was able to move it out of the way. When I did the reassembly, I was able to reuse it. I was able to replace the motor in about 30 minutes.Also, I followed the rude comment from ScottysDetailing and visited his site. It is awful. He holds the camera with one hand and does the work with the other. Pitiful. I liked the Fix It Right video because the camera was stationary and had a good angle to see the work.

thank you for the video,which saved time on the replacement of my blower motor
your video saved me a ton of headache and definitely money too, great vid thanks!
Very helpful. Thanks.
Good video, jamming to the music too. Ha.
Awesome video!!
good video bro gonna replace my blown motor,
Thanks for this video. I followed it to a tee this past week with excellent results. I like the truck but GM did not make anything easy to service.
I'm assuming the coolant reservoir has to be empty to flip it?
looks like it would be easier to remove the tire and inner fender well.
Not if you want to put the fender back on and it look like it did before you took it off, but if you worked on stuff, you would know that!
