Re: heater core replacement (231 views) 
Message: Actually, you can do the heater core without removing the entire dash. It takes a little bit of gyration, but it can be done.

You'll need to remove the center console and the center panel that holds the radio/heater controls. Now you should be able to see the relays that control the vac. heater controls. The heater core is behind the cover that the relays mount to. The cover is held in place by spring loaded clips. Two additional items of note:

1) You may have to remove (or loosen) the structural support on the right side as it limits access to the heater core. This has bolts that attach to the transmission hump and the upper dash support.

2) You might also want to remove the supply return tubes from the heater core before removing it. Just slide it out a little, and you can get them with a small 8mm wrench. Removing these allows you much better access for removing the core.

Good Luck,

Jeff
