I'm still going to check when I get a chance. I looked at my old motor over the weekend and the all the mounting tabs (that go around the perimeter of the motor housing) are angled on the left (when the fan is facing up - like the installed position) inticating to me that you twist the motor in clockwise to install it. Maybe it's a perspective thing. LOL, anyway I can see now why the Bentley instructions were questionable, but they still totally screwed the part about the locking tab and indexing tab. Glad the write up helped.

After doing it once I bet I can swap out a E90 blower in ten minutes now.

Maybe I just shouldn't drink so much...
