[Vwdiesel] 1980 Rabbit Heater core replacement...

   Well, just because there's no removal cover doesn't necessarily mean it
 going to be much harder.  The removal cover is almost a joke anyway.  
You can't remove the core with the box in place.  The core hits the steering 
column or pedal assembly.  :-(
  Simple thing like Dad's heater fan.  Sitting right there just begging to 
lift right out.  HA!  I had to split the fan housing and drag it out, 
kicking and screaming.  That was just me after all the scrapes and 
scratches!  ;-)  I still have to pull the whole housing and hose it out 
because it stinks so bad.
  Kinda, no matter how easy a short cut looks, it's about as easy to 
just pull the whole box.  :-P  Usually easier.
