F150 Blower fan replacement

I'm working on replacing the blower fan in me 2002 F150 and I have removed all of the mounting screws but I can not drop it down far enough to get it out of the housing. It hits the floor board. Is there a trick to this or is this just a part that you need to force out of the housing or pull back all of the carpet and padding?

Cheers

Thanks for the information. It is a lot of help, I was thinking that this would be required. Just hoping that I was wrong.
What a pain in the A$$ to replace a simple bolt in item.

Cheers

I know this is a old thread but I was hoping I could ask a question on this subject. So you don't need to pull the dash to service the blower motor and fan? My Dad has a 99 F150 screw and he called me tonight and said when he turns the blower fan on his whole dash shakes. He said it sounds like something is stuck in it. I told him I'd look at it but I was hoping I wouldn't have to pull the dash. Any ideas on this problem? Thanks for any help you can give.

My guess would be that you will find stuff stuck in the blower cage throwing it off balance possibly a mouse .

Yes, I'm thinking something is in there too. Do I need to pull the dash to get it out though?

I pulled back the carpeting & cut the padding clean. Put the fan & cage in, fitted the padding back,returned the carpeting to it's original place.This worked-after I struggled for hours tring to squeeze the motor back in with the padding preventing installation.
