HVAC Climate Control Spider & Cable

[Flecker]

How hard of a job is this? Assuming I can find the right part, would this be fairly inexpensive to have a mechanic do? Is it something a semi-mechanically-literate person could handle? It's almost impossible to move mine now, has been very stiff for years.

You won't find that part, it's been discontinued and no longer available for a decade or two. Most will try and lube it whilst the dash is apart to access the spider and cables. It's a miinimal success at best and you will have to keep lubing it over time.

Heres a good video.

Thank you! The video is great. I will have to watch the first part in slow-motion and write down everything I saw. Some of it looked a bit discontinuous.
