Heater displacement motor broken

The heater hasn't been working in the old man's 95 EF Fairmont for a while, he took it to an auto electrition today & they quoted him $650 to have the dash completely taken out etc to replace this $220 part, its a little motor which opens and closes the flaps or something which allow more or less hot air through.

My question is how difficult is the job, i have the gregory's manual which explains how to take the dash completely out, can anyone tell me what else needs to be done to replace this motor & can i save the old man $400 in labour by doing the job ourselves?

Thanx for any help.. Cheers.

as qouted you have to remove the whole dash, not a hard job really, just dismantle the dash to pull it out as per the manual, replace the part, throw it all back the way it came out, I have done my ea several times (not alot of diff to the EF really), easily a job done in a weekend.

If i was in newcastle i would help, its also a matter of finding some one who has done it before to make it quick and easy, guessing the first time makes it a long process, set aside 2 days, start sat morning, you may need sunday as well, penidng how well it all goes and how long you want to work per day.
