Can not locate my blower motor ..
 
Bearing's in my blower leting me know about them. Soon i will open it too. Do you know access is under hood or underneath the glovebox?
 
Yup.. found it .. up on left side under the glove box to the right behind the vent door.. Now the problem is removing it.. took out the 1 small bolt to remove it (tried to turn clockwise. Not moving) but it's seized in.. sprayed it. Will try again... THANKS
 
In '71 im lookin how to get in and i need directions. Noise coming from box under bonet. But i dont have idea how to open it.

To get in from the engine compartment I believe you need to remove the hood to pull out the heater box. The blower motor is under the glovebox. Take out the glove box I believe you can get more room that way.
 
Today finally i found blower :)
But it looks bad. It is placed in orange circle and im thinking that the funder must be take off...
Form interior even if it possible (wchich im doubt) for sure this would require pull down the entire dashboard.

I believe you are correct. Looks like the fender needs to be removed. At least its pretty easy to remove the passenger side one. Just some bolts. I don't think there is an inner skin that needs to be removed, but I could be wrong. That inner wheel well seems like it will get in the way of installing it. You other problem is getting another motor. From what I have seen the original is discontinued and obsolete. The newer ones today I believe some say its either the shaft coming out of the motor is too long or the dimeter is not big enough to let the bird cage slip onto it properly. You can always get the original one rebuilt too. Most of the time its probably just the brushes are worn out or corroded. or it just needs to be rewound.
 
Finally was able to replace the heater blower motor, It's located under the dash board and glove box and on the right side on the passenger side leg space. One has to remove the right cowl side trim panel and the duct assembly attached by six mounting flange screws, Then remove or loosen the mounting screw /bolt on the mounting plate, rotate the plate clock-wise, and the assembly will pull off the case. Then replace the motor on the old blower wheel and mounting plate, and the rest of the installation is in reverse. I had to find a new placement of the ground wire on one of the dashboard attachment screws. Hope this helps. See attached pictures. BTW, had to order the blower motor from two different suppliers until found the one that actually fit right.
