I want to take out all that heater core , blower fan etc from under the dash, I cant see how to get it out? I removed the bolts from the other side of the firewall but it wouldent give. Any advice? Also the motor for the windshield wipers and the blower motor on the outside of the firewall. I unbolted both and they are loose but attached by something inside.

much thanks!
 
Remove the two 5/8 hoses on the engine side of the firewall that go to the heater core and the plate around the core connections, this should be one phillips head screw. Next on the inside open the right/passenger side fresh air door. You should see a rod going up into the top of the air intake. This rod can be unscrewed from under the air intake with a 5/16 nut driver.You can then unhook the rod from the inner cowl panel. Now find something to place under the heater box to offer temporary support. Next is to unscrew the 4 - 7/16`s nuts that hold the blower motor/heater box assembly to the engine side of the firewall. Remove the plate and gaskets from around the blower motor. From inside you should be able to ease the heater box away from the firewall. Once you have you`ll find 3 cables that operate the flow of air through the box. Mark the cable and it`s corresponding spot so you`ll know where each one goes back.These are held in place with clips and sometimes screwed on. Disconnect your electric connections and you`re there. Sometimes the ground wire will be attached behind the right kick panel, so be aware of that. The job is not too bad if you`re patient and methodical. The heater box case is made in two pieces held together with clips. A flat head screwdriver will pop them right off. Reverse the entire proceeder when it`s all ready to go back in. If I`ve missed anything ,somebody chime in. HTH.
 
Great reply John... the only item not mentioned is the defroster hoses, which slide right off of the outlets. Otherwise, a thorough nut & bolt explanation.


I love reading posts like this. :wav:
