New heater blend door actuator arrived to day! So set to and inserted same thru ridiculously small gap, insert two of the three screws and set my mind to inserting the third (having a small mind this didn't take long!) eventually taped screw to socket - short extension bar - swivel joint - long extension bar - swivel joint - finally wrench! Success! Reassembled dashboard center console - twice, don't ask! Ditto on passenger side glove-box, knee thingy.
It works as it should - which is nice! So sat back with a well earned beer and considered what i'd learnt.
1. Very little of what I saw on youtube on this task actually applied.
2. Most of the stuff I removed I didn't need to.
3. If I had to do this again, I'd complete it in less than half the time.
and finally...
4. If the stealership can charge $800 for doing this then I'll charge $400 - if anyone wants me to do one?
Patience is a virtue - like we have any choice!
