Heater Core etc...

[Derek Pulvino]

Ok, so I'm biting another bullet this weekend, and replacing the heater core 
along with some of the other attached ancilaries.  So far I've read the info 
on Chris Miller's and the SJM sites, and gotten some feedback from Mr. SJM 
himself.  At this point, doesn't look like this will be altogether easy, but 
may not wind up being as bad as was originally thinking.  Does sound like 
it'll be easier than the same job on say an A2 VW or one of the Audi 
80/90's.

If anybody has any btdt hints they learned along the way feel free to 
oblidge.  Sounds like one of the more difficult parts in this job is 
actually removing the assembly if the foam insulation is well adhered to the 
firewall.  Otherwise, removing select wires, vacuum routings, the center 
console covers, wiper arms and motor, and of course the tray under the hood 
affords me the access I need.

I'm budgeting another entire day...if I'm wrong, let me know.
