Just to clarify: the blower motor motor is located in the bulkhead. It's accessible from the engine bay.

1 - remove wiper arms (tough to do): unscrew nut holding that secures the arm almost all the way off then use 2 channel lock pliers: upper jaw at the bottom of the wiper arm and top jaw on the nut, then tighten both pliers at the same time

2 - remove the bulkhead cover; pretty straightforward, you'll see

3 - about the center of the bulkhead, there's a small compartment for the blower motor; if I recall, it's mounted horizontally. disconnect wiring and remove
