Did this today and it took me (no BS) 10 minutes. Having said that I've made the mistake in the past of removing the vent and glovebox and it took 2 hrs.

Again. Remove the 2 torx 20 screws and unclip the light, remove panel. Get under there with a headlamp, unclip the connectors, and rotate the motor clockwise (looking up) until the tab hits the stop. Then lower the tab to twist it out. You can absolutely shimmy it out now without removing the ducting. At first you'll be like naw, but then you'll be like yeah when you realize the ducting and wire bundle are the only obstructions and they can be moved slightly to accommodate the removal and then reinstallation.

Great way to save yourself some serious cash.
