Hey,

I"m looking for instructions on how to replace the heater core.

Thanks!

 

Chilton Says:
Removal:
1. Drain Cooling system
2. Remove both heater hoses
3. Remove lower right hush panel
4. Remove lower right instrument panel and the ESC module if necessary
5. Remove lower right "panel-to-cowl" screw
6. Remove heater case screws
7. Remove the case cover
8. Remove the support plate and baffle screws
9. Remove the heater core and baffle plate from the housing.

Do you need installation?

 

get you a chilton's or any good service manual. if youve never changed a heater core you might need it. sick

 

I've done it in my 69 RS and other cars in general. I think it's not going to be as simple as the 69 and am expecting to have to take the whole dash out from what I've heard. Thought someone might have a good weblink to check out.

Thanks!!

 

UMM I could go outside and look but I think the heater core is under the hood. You have to unbolt the box and I think the top half comes off it.

 

nope not so lucky, to access it you DO have to take out the whole dash pretty much. I need to do mine. its ghetto rigged right now since its summer, but i need to replace it by winter. Ill let ya know how it goes.

 

Nope, it was bugging me so I had to go look. Just pull the whole dash. It saves time and agrivation of having to fight it out and the removal is not that hard.

 

Ghetto rigged Do you have like a miniature oil drum on fire inside

 

lol no, i just bipassed the whole core itself. Many people have done it, im not the first.

 

Yes I am one of those many. Bypass that is , not start a fire
