In all the videos I have seen on removing the blower motor from a C3 corvette, everyone wants to take these out from the top. They disconnect the AC lines and overflow bottle etc. If you have those systems and don't want them disturbed, than this is the way to go.

Your son didn't ruin the video...he made it better.

@asteverino8569 Год назад

Score on the blower replacement. What a jam packed engine compartment! Happy to see your wife and older son again. Including them is okay with me.

@JimmyWatches2102 Год назад

Nice to see Liam and your wife again!

@jimlowe6386 Год назад

You'll be able to show him the video when he gets older. So very Cool!! Thanks for posting CorvetteBen videos again!!

Not only can this man fix anything on a GM... he can do it one-handed while filming. Kids... this is _a real man._ No bragging. No shameless self-promotion, unless you _need_ a sticker. Humility for days.... A "man's man." I hope your kids grow up to be just like you, Ben. We need more clones of you in this world. (EDIT: I posted this before I saw Liam. Wow.... Being a father is the best thing in the world. Sad I'll never experience that. Now... on that "child labor" kick... kids do have tiny hands. Teach him how to reach into small spaces to grab all the bolts you've dropped. My dad did it to me, and I turned out fine?) BTW... the shop looks AWESOME. Congrats, I'm jealous. Real "BDE." As my grandfather used to say: "If you got it, they know. You don't have to walk in swinging it around. It proceeds you."

@discerningmind Год назад

Haha! You reminded me that my Dad would ask me to grab bolts and things dropped into small spaces too.

@rareblues78daddy Год назад

@@discerningmind How else are you going to learn? Seriously... the best thing you can do with any kid is to get them into your hobby or work... whatever it is, and _teach_ them. Let them work _beside_ you, not _with_ you. Hey... tools and cars are just "big kids" toys... even if you're just wrenching on your daily out of necessity. Take the kiddio for a ride with you. Pass on the passion. /HankHill

@@rareblues78daddy Absolutely. And I did learn too.

Ben, you have chosen one of the most difficult cars to work on. If you have owned a C3, you realize the magnitude of Ben's patience and ability. Cute kid too!

@rareblues78daddy Год назад

He is easy on the eyes. No doubt.

My day is made when The Corvette Ben puts out a video!

@scottmaldonado6540 Год назад

I have 81 Corvette and watching your videos makes it so much easier to work on it. Keep on pumping them out, they’re great. Thanks

@3Repete 10 месяцев назад

I just did my 71 through the hood. Once the squirrel cage was off I could finipulate the motor and wheel past the OE AC. You are a huge help!

@richs7362 Год назад

This is a example of the internet and RU-vid helping with a automotive repair task. Kind of reminds me of changing my 72 C10 blower motor. Having to unbolt the inner fender and slide it forward for enough room.

@Christopherhicks123 Год назад

You should include the family more it’s great to see the extra content that’s part of life!!😊

@JONMEREDITH Год назад

Your mechanical abilities are awesome! That video was incredible! Thanks, Ben!

@johnsarian_cu Год назад

Won't be that long before the little one will want to join in. And I'll bet his hands will fit fine in those spaces LOL. It has been a while (I'm old LOL) but when my kids wanted to help I learned quickly to have tasks lined up and not let them wait to start "working." They got bored easily and quickly otherwise.

@discerningmind Год назад

You're a great Dad!

@rustyrobinson8027 Год назад

Thanks Corvette Ben and family happy holidays ❤️

@rn2cro03 Год назад

I know it seems simple to you but to the non-mechanical guys like me it's a amazing. Keep up the good work and you have a beautiful family. Don't blink...time flies.

@anthonymcandrew529 Год назад

Excellent, detailed video! Thanks for posting. Always nice to see the family too.

@saleendriver Год назад

Cute kid. Team him young to love cars. By the time he grows up it will be a dying art I fear.

@santaclause2875 Год назад

More than likely he would be able to make a career from servicing multitudes of EV's. EV's are not going to be nearly as 'trouble-free' as everyone thinks.

@donhenderson5100 Год назад

So important to have you share this information. The later C3's were more complex so it is great to see your little tips and tricks. Thank you for keeping these cars running and refined.

@daved7024 Год назад

Your little son Ian is cute 🥰☺️

@klmorris1576 Год назад

@tomguyone Год назад

Nice vid...and I had been wondering how the wife's Pontiac was faring, and did figure the attention was likely more focused on the young'un.

Ben, give that boy a set of y tools and turn him loose. We’re depending on the next generation to pick up the banner!!

Ahhhhhh the patience of our friend Ben. ( At least on camera )

@ReviveAndDrive-mk1 Год назад

You are awesome!

@crawford323 Год назад

My issue was due to a dirt dobber, at least as the local South Texas people call the pesky wasp like critter. I was glad to see the blower was not bad.

@discerningmind Год назад

Ben, thank you. I'm pleased to learn that the blower can be replaced without disconnecting the a/c lines. Knowledge shared from you and men like you on RU-vid make a job go easier and faster but to save money as well. You guys are doing God's work, and particularly so for the working man.

Hi Ben...thanks for the video always enjoy learning about the different Vettes. Look forward to the Pontiac videos, tough to balance everything in life sometimes...I have my 49 Cadillac that is just sitting waiting to get worked on.

@eddiebelvedere2400 Год назад

Way to go Ben. The commercials have become more intrusive, but I know that's not your doing. Cheers.

@discerningmind Год назад

The RU-vid Premium Membership eliminates the commercials. It's $12.75 a month and well worth it.

@rtkracht Год назад

Good to see you have plenty of help😂.

@bradleywebb5097 Год назад

Very informative, but I replaced mine from the top in less than an hour. Also an ‘82 CE. Get the A/C compressor out of the way to remove the overflow tank. You then have enough room to wrestle the blower motor out. It wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. No need to take the cage off.

@paulgunter1538 Год назад

Great video Ben. Liam is adorable !

@Supermankev2001 Год назад

I think the 82 VETT IS THE NICEST OF THE C3 vetts

@allenvaughan1 Год назад

My vote is with the '73.

@dadsvespa Год назад

Good method for getting that blower motor replaced Ben! Doing it "by the book', would have been a nightmare! lol! Imagine what the Dealer would have charged for that?? Sends shivers down my spine! Merry Christmas! (if you celebrate) And a Very Happy Healthy New Year for you and your beautiful family! Peace!

@stex1985 Год назад

Did Chevrolet improve the access to the blower motor for the C4 or is it more or less cumbersome than on the C3? Just curious. Thanks for posting this video. Your son Liam is adorable!

@bigjohn912 Год назад

Hope this is the beginning of many more.

@michaelriley3110 Год назад

Thanks for this one Ben, seeing you up and under that section makes me think I might be able to get the coolant reservoir out that way rather than trying to disassemble the AC like the AIM says to do, I know my AC dryer isn't where that one was.

@BaddDukk Год назад

A good question is 'why are GM blower motors of that vintage such garbage??' Back in the day, I changed the blower motor on my 84 Z28 twice before it had 70,000km on it. My new-to-me 80 Corvette doesn't have the blower motor functioning right now and I suspect I will be doing this same job soon.

@rsprockets7846 Год назад

@sethp0411 22 дня назад

@yeyegshsjkrkrheheysteyeheh4973 11 месяцев назад

Question I have a c7 and when I accelerate it makes that noise and it’s coming from the AC blower is located. Still throws air and everything but could it be that?

@mzaccagnini7179 Год назад

Try doing it in a 70 Chevelle.

@byronholt3993 Год назад

Is the 81 any easier than that 82?

@wernerdanler2742 Год назад

It was not your video it was William's. 😆 As soon as you showed where the blower is located I knee it had to come out the bottom. Seems I remember other cars that you had to do that.

@drewbush6535 Год назад

So you couldn't take out fender shield

@flatworm00 Год назад

You made that look way to simple. You know there is nothing on a Corvette that simple to work on!

@eladiochaviano2593 Год назад

Ya didn't wash the squirrel cage blower

@discerningmind Год назад

Very good. I thought I was the only one. It would have been a good time to hose down the evaporator too.

Or put the buytl sealant around the mating face
