Help! Heater core R&R ... '85 Brat EA 81 ...


 Share

Recommended Posts

Ok, my manual SUCKS!! :banghead: it's been absolutly no help and 5 hours later I have almost everything removed, but still can't find bolts to let the dash come completely out ... I can see both sides of the heater box, but can't see any way to open it up and remove the core ... any help much appreciated ... finnally warmed up to 20 - 30 DEG (it was 5 - 20 below Zero) so it hasn't been as bad as it could, but it's still cold to be doing this ... thx! :drunk:

since you are that far along, the USRM one linked in the previous thread won't really help you.

 

to do it by the manual, you have to completely remove the dash. there are screws on either side of the firewall that need to be released, as well as the screws at the base of the windshield. possibly more. don't remember for sure...

 

anyway, after the dash is completely out, then you have to pull out the whole heater control black box.

 

then you can split that box open and get the core out...

Actually, I'd rather not take it all the way out now that I have seen how easily cutting it out is ;) I'll never understand the way they buried it so deep :rolleyes:

 

thx for the input tho :D
