So, my girl drives a 99 Cavalier and the heater core just went out. I fancy myself to be a bit of a mechanic, so I'm wanting to fix it myself. Problem is, I know that sometimes these heater cores can be a bitch to change. Anybody got any helpful advice here?
I went out my buddy's shop and looked it up on All Data... it calls for 6.5 labor hours. Should I expect it to take every bit of that, or can I assume that I'll get her done a bit faster? I don't wanna spend a whole day on this if I don't have to.
I know the console's gotta come out. I don't have to take out the radio and heater control assembly, do I? I'm just hopin' that I can leave all of that stuff in place... wondering if anyone can confirm or disconfirm this for me. The less I have to take apart, the better!!
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated...
