60 deluxe heater blower motor

[Jeffh]

My shop manual actually says “remove the screws and carefully remove” Does it work this way for everybody else? Removed the screws and it wasnt moving. Found some bracket attached that had a nut accessible from inside the cab. Removed it. Heater motor drops down but before you can get the fan to clear the housing it hits the inner fender. Fought with it, cussed at it, but had to give up and call it a night.....
