blower motor thanks and hint

It was finally time to undertake replacing the blower motor. Cold mornings is one thing, but blowing snow and a windshield that won't thaw is another. So last night, here in the northeast, i changed out the blower motor in my 94cs in just under 7 hours (lots of breaks and plain staring in disbelief), thanks to everyone's posts, quasi's site, and my girlfriends fingers.
The hint that i wanted to mention is that when you replace the motor housing back into the aquarium, the tabs that hold the blower in place at the bottom will hold you up (quasi states that someone broke his off before he got there). I recommend bending them out while you have the motor housing out and then remembering to slide the motor housing in pitched to the rear. Reinstall against the heater core by rotating the bottom rearward. If you don't bend those tabs out (they will break - i broke the one closest the evaporator), the right (looking at the engine) one will get hung up on the inside of the housing and you won't get that 1/4in. you need to fit the housing in place against the heater core.
Also, the long screw driver that you used to pry the tabs off the bottom of the blower motor should also be used to lever the part of the unremovable false bulkhead forward to get the motor housing to clear the bolt point for the removable part of the false bulkhead.
I hope this made sense and thank everyone for their help.
