P38A Heater problem - stuck on demist

I have the same issue on my project P38, lovely hot air on the screen only, seem to remember from my last P38 there was always a "clunk" as the direction motor switched the vents. Not sure if I can be bothered to fix it at the moment, especially as the weather is getting warmer and still have a long list of mechanicals and MOT work? Lots of info on blend motors but nothing on the distribution side. I think my blend motor might be OK if I can change the temp but not direction, so might just be stuck flap?

Is it a job that can be tackled alone or do you need two people to get the dash out? Never attempted anything like this before but willing to give it a go over the next few weeks if the weather improves!! It will probably take me a long time to do because I am no mechanic but hey its got to be done. Is there anything in particular I need to look out for, any real difficult parts of the job or is it pretty straightforward if you take your time? Is there anything else I should be doing whilst the dash, i.e. should I replace the other two blend motors or just the dodgy one? I see lots of posts about heater matrix leaks and o'ring leaks, I don't have those issues (at the moment) so is it better to leave well alone if no leaks or better to replace whilst dash is out? Thanks
