Hi,
I found that to get the heater core out you have to remove the heater box as
a unit (because of the placement and orientation of the flanges that keep
the box together).
It is reasonably simple, but has some implications:
1) Remove the screws along the bottom edge of the heater box, attaching it
to the firewall.
2) Remove the single screw at the top centre of the heater box.
3) Disconnect the heater flap control cable either at the heater box end
(behind the radio) or at the control end (behind the dash). To disconnect
at the control end you remove the control from the dash, but it's a pain
putting it back.
4) Disconnect the hoses from the heater box
5) Pull the heater box out at the top and then up at an angle, being careful
not to catch the flap lever on the hole in the firewall.
