Blower Housing Removal

[drummiekev]

I want to replace the blower motor but I'm having trouble removing the blower housing. I removed the two bolts at the top. Now what? I can't find any other bolts to remove.

Thanks very much in advance!

Is it in a mobile home furnace ?

If so, not sure which bolts you are referring to.


What is furnace model number ?


Here is an article we wrote to assist folks with :

Thank you for the prompt reply, sorry for the lack of info.

The furnace model is mgh-075.

Here's a pic showing the 2 bolts I removed.



Here's a side view of where it looks and feels like the housing is riveted or welded onto that bracket next to the arrow.




Thanks again for the help, this is a great site!!

Hi,

Not sure what the bolts are holding, but shouldn't have been needed to remove them.



Look on other side of motor on each side down at bottom.


You should see a lip extending out from housing about an 1-2".


You should see metal pieces that the lips slide under.


May also have a screw or two along with lips on each side.


Then, disconnect wiring and slide out.


Look closely at link I sent.


The brackets are bolted/screwed to the housing.




Thanks,
Robert

Just reverse the steps in the article, pretty straight forward.


You're very welcome also, happy to help.
