[Shotimes] Blend Door Motor

[Ron & Dorathy DeReus]

Somehow I got it out without breaking anything.  The shaft turned freely, so
I took it apart, the gears looked fine, so I put it back together and voila!
shaft is tight again.  Hmmm, maybe that fixed it, me thinks.  So I crammed
it back in, more baffled at how I did that than how I got it out.  Got the
dash halfway back together and hooked up the battery and hit the key -
click, click, click - crap.  I ran the diagnostic anyway, sure enough, code
2.  Oh well - since the dash was already back on, I reattached the steering
column so I can drive it until the new BDA arrives from California or
Florida.  Or somebody offers up how to fix this one before I order the new
one.  Thanks for the help, Steve and Joseph.

Use the mentioned wrench to remove the BDA from the top of the plenum.
