Let the moderators and administrator decide whether they should leave it as it is or merge it to the other topic.
So, there's no much to add to the already available info for disassembling the glove compartment, the lower dash panel and the bolster.
Only, I would like to introduce you to this tool:
It is made by Gearwrench and I like it a lot for jobs where it's too tight as this one.
Also, you better use some paper and a 1/4" adapter to hold the screwdriver bit and the screw in place and start screwing it in by hand:
So, my plastic which goes on the square steel shaft from the damper motor was so badly damaged, it fell off almost by itself.
I decided then, to use another system to fix this problem.
As you can see, there's an opening in the base of that plastic part, and it is much stronger than the rest:
I decided to use it for controlling the air door opening.
Here's what you'll need:
1. A 1/4" plastic refrigeration flexible tubing like this one:
that I bought @ 18 cents for a foot from my local RONA store.A CR-V1/4 screwdriver bit as this one:
And a couple of small and black tie raps (as long as I remember, these ones are the most resistant to high temperatures amongst others).
First, you file the screwdriver bit from both sides about a mm. in order to bring it a little narrower and cut it about 2 mm. below the lock mark (I cut it exactly on the mark, but it is a little short) to shorten it up like that:
Then, you add both the lenghts of the metal shaft of the electric motor which is this:
And about 3/4 of the lenght of the screwdriver bit which is that:
And you cut a piece of the refrigeration tubing of the same lenght.
After that, you stick the metal shaft of the motor in the plastic tubing all the way.
Then, you take the modified screwdriver bit with a pair of pliers and stick it in the other end of the plastic tubing until it seats firmly on the motor's metal shaft like that:
Be careful to orient the screwdriver bit with its edges corresponding to the edges of the square electric motor shaft.
After that, you tighten the plastic tubing with the tie raps taking care to put the tie raps exactly in the middle of the shaft and the middle of the screw driver bit part of it like that:
That's all about it.
After that, you reassemble the motor using the same modified tool for the difficult screw on the bottom rear side.
Enjoy
