tear dash out, pull core, replace core, re install dash. lol its easy once you get into it, just time consuming.

Does the inside of your windshield fog up with coolant (you will know it is coolant when you try to wipe it clean)...?


The heater core comes out from the glove box cavity after you disconnect the two hose clamps from the other side of the firewall.


(i.e. you only need to remove the glove box)
