I ended up drilling 2 holes in the metal casing that is blocking the 2 bottom screws from being removed. However, I'm stuck trying to unscrew the big nut that is holding the fan in place. This is such a bad design. This part is not easy to replace. Would love to hear any tips for doing this job easier.

Looks pretty straight forward, remove the fan door, intake restrictor and a locking nut and the fan should come off.

Blower motor doesn't work, how do I find out if its the fuse, relay or if the motor itself is shot? I know where the fuse box is but some of it is abbreviated and I don't know what some of it stands for....

The blower motor can be tested by removing the lead to it and seeing if it has 12 Volts by observing if the 'test light' lights up when the dash controls indicate that the blower motor should be operational.

One can test the fuses by using a 'fuse tester' available from Walmart or an auto parts store which will light up when an energized circuit has a blown fuse.

The blower motor is located on the firewall on the passenger side, in general on GM cars from the 1990s.

You may have to remove some items to get to it, though.
Blower Motor REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. If necessary, tag and disconnect the number 2, 4 and 6 spark plug wires from the ignition coil and move the coil out of the way.
  3. For 1993-99 vehicles, remove the nuts and cross brace bar.
  4. Detach the electrical connections from the blower motor.
  5. Disconnect the cooling tube from the blower motor.
  6. Unfasten the screws securing the blower motor to the blower module assembly.
  7. Remove the blower motor and fan assembly from the module.
  8. If necessary, unfasten the nut attaching the fan to the blower motor shaft, then pull the fan from the blower motor. Fig. 1: The blower motor and fan assembly is mounted in the heater and A/C module, and is accessible from the engine compartment 89636g22.gif
    Fig. 2: You can disassemble the fan from the motor by removing the retaining nut 89636g23.gif
    To install:
  9. If the fan was removed from the motor, position the fan on the shaft, then install the retaining nut. Tighten the nut to 12 inch lbs. (1.4 Nm).
  10. Position the blower motor and fan assembly to the module, then install the retaining screws. Tighten to 5 inch lbs. (0.6 Nm).
  11. Connect the cooling tube to the blower motor.
  12. Attach the electrical connector to the blower motor.
  13. On 1993-98 vehicles, install the cross brace bar and retaining nuts. Tighten the nuts to 18 ft. lbs. (25 Nm).
  14. If removed, install the coil and connect the spark plug wires, as tagged during removal.
  15. Connect the negative battery cable.

How do i remove the fan wheels from my 92 accord heater motor?

Difficult to describe without pics, but…:
Once you’ve removed the glove box (I assume you’ve done this, and maybe you already have the motor out, in which case you can ignore most of this down to the underlining)
If the vehicle is equipped with air conditioning, remove the strap bolt (between the two nuts for the evaporator on the left and the two nuts for the blower housing (the housing is probably white) on the right, just a bit lower than those) then the blower under-cover and the three blower housing retaining nuts (two nuts at the top, already mentioned, and the nut at the bottom, which is roughly between the evaporator on the left and the blower housing cover on the right).
Pull the housing out far enough to unplug the electrical connectors (at the lower right edge, right above the kick panel) and remove the blower assembly housing.
If you’re replacing the blower motor itself, or either of the blower fan wheels, separate the two halves of the housing, remove the motor, remove the retaining clip(s) and remove the fan wheel(s). Easier said than done in may cases. The wheels, from heat and cold over many years, become very set on the blower rod. You'll have to work them off using whatever break-free lube you can find to do it, and a good deal of slight twisting, etc.
Installation is reverse. Then check for proper operation, before you put them back.
Hope this is at least helpful.

I just got the fixit for replacing a blower motor on a 91 accord, but I can't get the fan out because the AC box is in the way. Do I have to disconnect the AC to remove the fan box?
