DIY glove box removal and blower motor replacement

To remove the glove box, first remove the door. With the door closed there are 3 screws holding the hinge to the bottom support bracket. Remove these from underneath. The smallest screw goes in the center. Sorry, no pic for these.
Next, open the door and unhitch the door from the hangers. They disconnect from the door by sliding the tab outward.
With the door removed and the foot well light hanging, the left sided hanger can be removed by simply lifting it out of the slot.
Now to remove the screws holding in the box/liner. There are 2 on each side along the edge by each hanger location. 3 along the bottom in the back of the box. 3 along the top edge of the box. And 5 10mm bolts in a the top of the back of the box.With these bolts out, the whole side of the dash is moveable. The latch stays in place.
Then the box/liner needs to be forcefully folded slightly and pulled from the cavity. It will get hung up on the left hanger, but the box/liner can be manipulated in such a way as to slide the box off of the hanger while leaving the hanger in place.
I left this hanger in place as it appears to be pinned to the damper.
With the box out, now to get access to the blower motor.
