Recirc. door actuator replacement.

Might want to go to a wrecking yard and find a similar vehicle where they have the dash torn apart. Then you can see how you can get to it and maybe come up with some ideas.

I had a car where the factory manual said to remove the steering wheel and entire dash to get to something. But by looking at the same car at a wrecking yard (with dash pulled), I could see where the screws were. Then was barely able to get to all the screws in my car without removing the dash. (Took 1/2 hour to remove/replace 3 screws.)

Just take the bottom screw out and use a flat screw driver to pry the motor outward and break the top ear off, get a new one or replacement and break the top ear off of it to match the one you took out. There is no sideways pressure on the motor, it will run like that for ever. I have been running like that on a 1995 2500HD for more than three years and no trouble, just be sure to put the bottom screw back in snug. Sam

Outstanding. There had to be a way around dismantling that entire HVAC assy. Will get it done tomorrow. Looks like rain anyhow. Thanks, Sam.

My manual had that same procedure of pulling the steering wheel, and dropping the inst. panel to get to some hardware to remove the HVAC plenum. I'm going to try Sam's procedure below, but maybe put some good epoxy where the top broken screw mount will be just for insurance. Thanks, Bill.
