You should not need to remove the blower motor to change the controller, it should pull out from the housing. I had to make a tool from some 15mm copper pipe to pull it though.

Removing the motor is a pain, most of the passenger side air ducting and wiring trunk is in the way.

Removing blower motor is a pain in the rse - top two bolts have to be removed (& refitted) by feel!  You need to drop glovebox out, remove trunking tray, undo fixing bolts disconnect electrics and then waggle the b*gger out! As Hayes says "refitting is the reverse of removal"  ;D

Took me a couple of hours to swap blower motors on the Estate whilst standing on my head under the dash!!

Did you change yours because the blower would not turn off even with the ignition off

Is the speed controller a small square unit or is it what they call a hedgehog
