Escort Heater Core

[camo_ken]

Hey all,

Hope you are all doing well. Just some quick advise, got a 93 'scort wagon and need help removing the heater core, I have removed the control panel for the heater controls, and I located one nut that secures the heater box to the fire wall. I cannot find the other 2 much less move this box more than 1/2 an inch in any direction. Are there any links you can forward me to?

This is a major job. I started to do mine once and took it to a shop instead. The entire dash has to come out. If I had it to do over again I'd buy an electric heater and close off the heater core.

Yeah, it's a major job, not only do you have to remove the dash, you have to suck down the a/c. But Ken what is the problem? Is it leaking?
If you don't have good heat try back flushing the engine and the heater core. Then I would try replacing the Thermostat. If the core is leaking, you have to replace it.

I just bought the car and talked the guy down 200 dollars because I saw the core was bypassed. I thought, no big deal, I'd just get it done and that'd be it!! NOT@!
