Steps:
1> Disconnect the negative battery terminal
2> Jack the car up and remove the drain tube from the heater case.
3> Lossen the hose clamps and disconnect the heater hoses from the heater core tubes at the fire wall. Make sure to plug the ends of the heater core tubes to prevent spillage.
4> Now its time to work inside the car. Remove the left and right side under-dash panels.
5> Remove the heater floor outlet duct.
6> Remove the screws and clips that secure the heater core cover, then remove the cover.
7> Remove the heater core retaining straps and remove the heater core from the housing. Be careful not to spill and coolant as this is done.
8> There ya go.. Now you have it out.. Just do this all in reverse to get the new one back it.
Good Luck!
