Heater Core repair day 1
started fixing the heater core today. first I took out the center console and the glove box. from there u can see the evaporater and the blower motor. then I disassembled the evaporater/blower box . when taking out the blower motor there was a lot of leaves and other crap in therecleaned that out. then took the evaporater out by disconnecting the screw from the engine compartment. then took the box rest of the box out to reveal the heater core. on the heater core I released the heater band. and disconnected the plastic tubes going into the engine compartment. once these were disconnected you can then pull out the old heater core........ got to dark to reconnect everything but so far nothing broken and took about 2hrs to get to this point. I'll post more when its done.
I didn't have to take the whole dash out to get to the part. so hopefully I won't have to worry about the rattles. it is a tight space to work in but im skinny enough to fit under there. ended up pulling the heater core out the junk yard and got it for 16 bucks then car I got it out of the part look still clean in the box it came out of but hopefully it will last long enough ... but u know the saying u get what u paid for and by doing this my self so far I saved 984 dollars. I found the part for 150 but it has to be ordered and take about a week to get here. so that's the update
