Yeah,  I'm  already  familiar  with this entertaining procedure, but I
hope I'll manage without removing the whole dash.

Someone  once  said  that  when  you  start working on cooling system,
replace  as  much as you can. It is so true. System needs pressure for
effective cooling, so when you fix one place, another weakest point
gives up. After I patched a leaking radiator, one hose fractured. When
I replaced all front hoses, heater valve exploded. Fixed it, so now
only heater and it's hoses need replacement to finish complete system
rebuild :)
