Heater Core removal
« on: October 30, 2005 - 11:35:02 AM »
 Well, I just replaced my old leaky Radiator cap with a new one and I was rewarded with a nice little puddle of coolant on my passanger floor mat! LOL
 So how hard is it to replace the heater core on a Challenger?  I take it, it's inside the black plastic box behind my glove box. What do I need to remove to replace it, besides the hoses in the engine compartment of course. Just at a glance it looks like just some screws and maybe some metal clips and the cover comes off and then a couple more screws or bolts and the heater core comes out?
 I'm just going to bypass it for now until I get cash to replace it.
 Great timing right before winter LOL

if it is not an AC car it is easy , remove the 3 bolts around the heater motor in the engine compartment & there is a J bolt in the right floor vent , disconnect the wires & cables & the Whole box can be dropped out & disassembled on a bench
