Help, how do I remove the blower assembly in a '68 Firebird?

[BirdsThaWord]

I have the passenger fender off and have removed all of the nuts from the engine compartment that hold it on. Are teh rivet looking things actual rivets? Do I need to drill them out? Are there any nuts I have to remove from inside the passenger compartment? Is it possible that just the sealant is still holding it on?

All these views and no replies? Geuss I should break out the jackhammer?

I don't remember drilling out any rivets. I remember the sealant took some effort to break.

I see 7 places for bolts. nuts whatever, on my blower housing... I would say if you took that many out, the caulk is holding it... take a putty knife and wedge it between the firewall and the blower housing as far as you can get around it... (I'm assuming you are trying not to bend it) It should come off without too much of a fight.

a picture of what you're working would help, there are many different blower styles
