Replaced Blend Door Actuator

[mwws]

This was not near the job I had anticipated it being. Less than 2 hours from start to finish. I was even successful in replacing the top bolt that so many have said leave out cause it was to difficult to replace. I took the panel off below the steering column and was able to use a ratchet with a 6inch extension for a straight shot. I used a little of the kids glue stick on the head of the bolt to hold it in the socket while I got it in place.
Some have said the dealer wants $600 dollars for this job. If anyone needs it replaced I'll do it for half that any day.

That is very cool. I had this done at the dealer, the actual vent with the door in it was $49, labor was $700
But under warranty for me. If it wasnt, I would have lived with it or attempted what you did.
