You gotta replace it? I just stripped my interior and I'll say that removing the core was a major pain in the ***.

There are bunches of bolts... Maybe look in the haynes manual? There might be a pic of the interior setup in there. Or a remvoal of the heater core how to.

my 2 cents

The haynes manual doesn't have anything in the index for heater.

The previous owner of my SE told me he disconnected some hoses because there was water leaking and the carpets were getting a little damp he noticed, so now my heater doesn't work.
