Sorry to hear of your angst. For what it is worth, I found an easier way to change the motor and core if you are willing to discharge your AC system temporarily. Take your car to local A/C shop and ask them to remove your refrigerant. Make sure and tell them that you will be back in a day or some to have it reinstalled, that way you should get one price.
With the A/C discharged, you can remove the A/C evaporator, which is 90% of the hassle. The blower housing is easy to remove next, followed by the heater core. The blower motor shaft has to be carefully knocked out of the squirrel cage with a punch. After reassembly, revisit the A/C shop and have the system evacuated and recharged. Using this approach I have been able to have the blower housing out and motor changed in about an hour. Good luck
