Today I feel like I've accomplished one of the main HHR goals: I replaced the blower motor on my wife's HHR. Actually, I didn't do any of the work. My limber nephew did the work while I told him what to do. The one easy thing is that the motor was not original so all we had to do was unscrew the retainer ring. Someone else had previously cut the motor from its plastic cup.

2006 model ? Then you may want to check the butyl patch. Is it leaking and letting water get into the cabin filter and blower motor ?

Yes he has a 2006, so butyl patch is a must to inspect.
Today was appointment day, Sweetie for eye appointment, then breakfast and a visit with family in the hospital. Sweetie’s auntie had a hip replacement.

The first replacement was done by the dealer while the previous owner had it. There was no sign of water intrusion into the cab and we've never seen any signs of water getting in to the cabin. This particular motor died because the bearings seized.

Usually sitting in our living room, watching the snow fall, a cinnamon adult beverage and a YouTube fireplace video. The insurance for a real wood burning fire place is crazy money!
Sometimes more for my ego than not, I start up my 1978 MTD snow thrower and clear my driveway, but the last couple of snow storms were heavy wet snow that just clogged up the snow shute. So a bit of shoveling is inevitable and more cinnamon adult beverages!
another month and it’ll be time to change the winter tires for summer!
