It took rather longer than I expected. I discovered that the blower assy and output port were attached with sealant and aluminum tape in addition to screws. The old sealant and tape had to be removed and new applied and allowed to cure before reassembley. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY stueben: Wed Nov 01 01:31:27 GMT 2017 No data today, cloudy all day. ___end___
