Recirculation Actuator Removal

[Larry Rees]

Hello there. I am trying to change my recirculation actuator. Trying to figure out how to remove it. Manual does not explain removal procedure. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be most helpful and appreciated. Thanks Larry

I was able to change mine out by removing the glove box liner and defrost duct & reaching through the glove box to remove the nuts securing the actuator. There are 2 nuts attaching it to the case & 1 screw attaching the door lever. It was pretty much a "work by feel" job and some profanity was involved but I was happy with the result. I'm not sure how easy it is to remove the case but that is probably the official way to do this job.

Here are some pics of the job from inside the glove box & in the engine bay:

 

Here's a vid of the new actuator working:
