I have a Majestic 330N gas fireplace. I ordered a GFK blower kit. Removed lower front grille assembly. Blower unit will not fit into space. Removed glass trim assembly however that didn't provide any more space given the bottom support track is welded. I think part of the problem may be the tile surrounding the unit. Any suggestions?
 
Can you post pix? If we could see the blower & where the interference is, we might be able to help. With almost ALL of the Heat & Glo units, the GFK models just barely make it into the valve cavity & they have to be rotated & angled to get them into the proper position for that to happen....
 
i have replaced several of these blowers,you have to angle and tilt it just right and it will still drag a little goin in but it will go...be patient and try different positions till you hit the sweet spot.
