Hi guys just sharing here.. (dont do what i did)
Well when i got the car (96 legacy wagon), i found that the heater core was bad,, i bypassed it but winter was coming so i tore it open and changed it out. i follwed this: http://beergarage.com/subyheatercore.aspx
Well when i finally got the heater box out,, i couldnt get it apart,,, i took out what i thought were all the screws,, but didnt take the one out in the bottom center..
I thought the big pin that was going thru the flapp door was holding it together,, so i hit it with a hammer to drive it out/ down thru.... (wrong answer)
I didnt know it was all one piece plastic. duh... So i finally got it apart and found that i had broke the bottom of the door flap at the bottom as you can see in picture 2.
SOOOO i glued it.. Yes,, i used some kind of super epoxy from advance auto... it seemed to be ok.
Put it allll back together,,, i had heat! I had air.!!
Now its november and i dont have any heat. AT ALL.
Soo im going to tear it all down again and go back in. So this is a PSA, dont hit that plastic thing with a hammer... and 2 dont use glue.
