Wow, lots of questions. 1) It should just push out the front. If you take out the ashtray so that you can reach in and push out the ACC panel, you should have plenty of access to grab it from behind. 2) It usually doesn't actually vibrate, but the fan bearings get worn or gummed up and make the noise you describe. Sometimes just spraying the fan motor with WD-40 solves the problem -- at least for awhile. 3) I think I have seen the part on some mail-order websites, but I can't recall where right now. You might just want to see what the local Radio Shack has in the way of 12 volt motors that fit. Or you could just disconnect the wire to the fan, but then your ACC system won't be able to respond to temperature changes very well. Don't disconnect the other wires to the sensor. The ACC system would find that objectionable.
