Hi, Can anyone give me any info at all on what it's going to take to replace the heater core? It's leaking bad and also no heat. Thank you.

I have not done this one (yet) but here is how someone got to the heater core in a Bonneville, which is quite similar in construction...so maybe it is not necessary to remove the entire unit as suggested above:

A real problem is reaching and releasing the heater core hose clamps, specially with the 3.8 . Here are a few threads addressing the same issue....
