Photos from heater core extraction - '87 GL 3-door


Recommended Posts

The instructions from Moosen was very helpful...

This was to clean out a rodent nest...    Not much fun getting to the heater box!  Found out that my replacement core does not match what I need; the old one was not leaking but I wouldn't want to go through this ordeal again. 

Trunk and back seat filled with all the parts removed to get to the box. I'll bet when things go back together that I'll have extra parts.

Good luck. If you can’t find parts catalogs online let me know. They have the exploded views that help in times like this. 
 

Service manual might help some too. 
 

Been ages since I’ve messed with those 85-89s

Love the three door coupe!! We didn’t get them in Oz. Special import only and they weren’t known or weren’t popular. I’d have one! 

I’ve done this dash removal several times. Not too bad once you know what you’re doing. 

Best of luck sourcing a new heater core, mind you, your unit looks like it’s an all copper unit without the plastic end tanks that can let go in a big way! You could have this checked over by a radiator specialist to get the ok.
