Hi,
I had to use a hacksaw in order to have the heater removed. The round shaped
foam between the heater and the firewall makes this very sticky over the
years.
Cheers,
Hans

Subject: heater removal
so, i was ready to leave on a two hour drive when i noticed the
carpet was wet..
yuck, it was REALLY wet with rusty water..
i've put on a length of heater hose to bypass the heater
completely, and sopped up the mess..
and (planning to recore/repair the heater) i got the heater loose
but it (silly me) won't come out until i figure out how to loose
the temp control cable..
now, just days ago someone said to push a allen wrench into the
little hole on the side of the temp control knob and pull it off..
well, i pushed and pushed--and given up...
laid on my back and tried to figure out how to disconnect the cable
on the back side of the dash (without removing the knob and then
the heat control bracket)--and given up on that too
and, under the hood i tried to pull the heater up enough to loose
the cable where it connected to the heater control valve--and given
up there too
so, i'm blocked every way i've turned and wonder which is the
CORRECT way to go:
1) get the knob of, drop the bracket and then loose the cable
2) behind the dash, loose the cable (the nut is on top, can't be
seen and i don't think i can get a wrench on it, can i--secret
way?)
3) pull the heater up and loose the cable there
