As is the case with all heaters, the biggest pita is the 
access/removal.  The 4's heater element is much better designed in that 
it is self-flushing, but the hoses are these little, short, stubby 
curvered things that are a difficult to access remove.  Thus, if the 
hoses are intact, then you can put an attachment on the firewall 
connections inside the engine compartment and flush is.  Access to the 
fan is another story.
