Help Quick, Heater Core Removal.

[MI-SHOFEAR]

I am in the middle of replacing my heater core. I have the dash out of the car and about 4 nuts removed from the Heater box assembly that were located in the engine compartment. I cannot get the heater box out. The AC and Heater Lines are Disconnected. What am I missing.

is that all?

 

[Devin]

Should be. I think the only other screws on the bottom are courtesy of the dash. I just replaced mine and if I remember correctly the only things you need to take off are:

2 bolts behind the dash
3 bolts on the engine side of the fire wall
2 AC fittings, one upper one lower
2 Coolant hoses on the heater core
2 screws holding the neck of the under seat heating duct

Do you remember which 3 bolts in the engine compartment?

I should preface this by saying I have a Gen 1 with EATC

I'm sorry, not bolts: nuts. The studs are attached to the HVAC unit and they are poking through the firewall with nuts on them. They are pretty easy to find since there isn't a whole lot coming out of the firewall. As for location... let me find a picture to post.

Okay, the yellow region I am sure of, the red I think is correct. Nontheless, there are only three nuts on mine to take off.

(sorry 56Kers)
