Do you really need to remove the blower unit and cooling unit to change out the heater core? My book is telling me to but I haven't done a heater core before, it seem like alittle much but i could be wrong. It also shows the dash still in the car, wouldn't it be easier to take it out?

 

can be done but a lot easier to pull the dash. do a search I think there is a dash removal post for the s130

 

It would be easier with the dash out and you do need to remove the blowers.

 

Oh i know how to remove the dash, its pretty easy ive done it by myself... I just haven't done the heater core part. I just didn't want to have to take the blower out too, but looks like I have to, lucky me.

 

i have my dash out right now to. I'm putting in a 5-speed!

 

nice!! T-5?

 

You dont have to take the blower out if you pull the dash and remove the cross bar.

 

Really? You are a life saver my friend I just decided to check this after pulling the dash out. Man theres alot of crap around the heater core!!

 

Guess the question I should ask, Is it better/easier to take the crossmember out rather than the heater and a/c unit?

 

The cross member is 10 bolts so I'd think it would be easier, because once you have the dash out its right there.
