I am right in the middle of replacing the heater core in my 1998 Blazer and ran into a snag. I have the dash apart and the heater box is loose but I cannot fiqure out how to get the core out of the box! Do I tilt the dash or is there some way to take the whole box out and replace? Any help would be great

You have to tilt the dash to get the heater core out. I had to change the one in my 1995 Blazer. Buy a Haynes manual to help you out.

I have already replaced it by tilting the dash. I went out and bought a Chiltons book on it and found it no help at all. If I followed the book, I would have had to take off the right front fender, headlight assy, discharge the A/C system etc... If anybody has to replace one, DO NOT follow the Chiltons book. Tilt the dash.A whole lot easier!

I just had mine replaced last week.. $500.00 with the part (the core is only $65.00)

Figured some jobs you do your slef... some are why too much pain, and have done professionally..

Shatar, I just tilted the dash at the end of yesterday, are there screws at the core cover? Is there a core cover? I ran short on time because I followed some directions for earlier years. Who knew it would change? That's how I found this site.

Extra help is appreciated.
