Great hack for us red-neck DIY guys. 2010 F150 Lariat - did this today (Oct 26, 2024) and it went well. Took a bit to break off the side you can't get to, but got it broken then all was good. Tip for getting the teeth to line up: I put the blend door motor in place and then turned my ignition on to activate motor while putting a little pressure on the part ... slipped right in this way. Another tip for the recirculate blend door: I didn't fix mine when it went bad, I removed the Fan Motor assemble and took some pool noodle and wedge it the recirculate (door closed) permanently. I don't use fresh air - I can crack a window for that. Thanks much for the video. It saved time and money and works perfectly. Blessing.
