Before you remove the blower motor, make sure that the motor is the problem.
There is often another fuse and relay for the blower motor.
Does the motor work at all?
What are the symptoms that made you want to replace the motor?

Yes the motor does work. The problem is a whining noise that comes from it when the a/c, defroster, heater or vent is turned on. Not sure if there is a bearing going bad or if something has fallen in behind the dash and is touching the blades. The faster the blades turn the louder the noise is.

I can't really see any panels behind the glove box. Does the glove box need to be removed and if so what's the best way to remove the glove box? Thanks.

I had the same problem with my 1996 Regal. I simply took out my glove box. Just remove the metric screws mounting it. There are 2-3 below it and a couple inside. Remove the bulb inside first. In my case, some paper had fallen out of the glove box into the blower housing. Drove me crazy for 3 weeks. Took all of 10 minutes to pull the box, pull out the paper and fix it.
Good Luck!

Suggested Repair
Confirm the blower motor works and check its fuse and relay. Access the blower under the right side of the dash by removing the glove box and lower panels (remove the glove-box bulb first; do not break the blower motor resistor). Inspect the housing for debris touching the fan and check the motor bearings if the whine remains.
Conversation Summary
The owner of a 1995 Buick Regal asked how to access the blower motor. The motor works, but it whines whenever the A/C, defroster, heater, or vent is on, and the noise gets louder as fan speed increases. Experts said the motor is under the right side of the dash behind the lower glove-box panels and advised confirming it is the problem before removal, including checking the fuse and relay. They recommended pulling the motor to look for debris in the housing or a failing bearing. Another owner of a similar Regal said removing the glove-box screws and bulb revealed paper that had fallen into the blower housing.
