There's a little blue plug/button/widgit/thing-a-ma-bob (actually 2 of them) with a hex hole in the middle for a allen wrench and it appears to unscrew. Is it a plug for possibly a oil hole (to lube the blower motor) or does it actually hold something inside the motor housing? Thanks. (pic is from under the hood, firewall, passenger side)

Wishful thinking. Is it for real the accumulator/dryer must come out in order to get the blower motor out?

I just loosened the bolt that holds the accumulator and moved it a bit forward ( you only get about 1 or 2 inches of play. I cut the one wire tie holding the wiring harness to the chassis and removed the motor from under the harness. Just work at it a bit, it will come out without breaking.
