Heater Core Replacement Instructions?

[sometoyotaguy]

I looked around, but couldn't find a writeup on replacing the heater core. Is there one somewhere?

Thanks

I know the Haynes manual lists the procedure. I want to say you'll have to discharge the A/C and pull a vacuum on it and have it recharged as the A/C evaporator likely needs to come out, but I'm not totally sure on that. I would have to check the manual when I get home.

remove dash...

yea, lower dash needs to come out on passenger side...start by removing the door sill trim on the pass side, then the glove box. Door sill trim snaps in three places along the sill, and there is sometimes a nut or hand nut near the kick panel. Remove the nut, and then pull the sill up and out. Be careful not to break the snaps. Open the glove box, you will see TWO little oval plastic covers. Get a micro flat tip scredriver. Pop the little oval trim pice out from the top. This will expose 10 mm bolts. Remove them. Then you have TWO more bolts under the glove box on each side on the bottom. Look close, they are low. Then remove three screws up at the top of the glove box. This will remove the glove box and give you access, remove an L shaped heater duct and your there.
