I'm cleaning up my fresh air ventilation box (under the cowl), and want to disassemble the housing that holds the fan and motor. There are some circular steel wire clips that hold the plastic housing halves together. What is the best tool or method to remove, and then replace them without cracking the plastic bosses?
Also, it looks like the foam rubber on the butterfly valves are about shot. Where can I get suitable replacements or the material to repair them? Recommendations? Thanks, Andys |

The one thing you should realy do is check the motor operation. I wound up epoxying the base some as it has cracked slightly and allowed the motor to rub the wheel on the housing when I hit a bump. The epoxy solved that nicely.
