Re: Heater core replacement

Does anyone have any pictures? I removed the panel, but I don't see the heater core. Just plastic and a valve, and a metal vertical bar about 2 in wide. Can anyone help???

Re: Heater core replacement

The silver area in the middle is the heater itself, the 4 screws you have to remove are circled in red, the one on the lower left is behind the plastic bracket the one on the upper right is just above where the pic ends,
and also remove the screw circled in yellow, this will allow the heater box cover to flex when removing the core

Re: Heater core replacement

Is this the plastic piece that you see? If so this has to be removed to get to the heater core. If i remember there are four screws that hold this in. A long extension on a ratchet will be very helpful getting the top left screw out.

Re: Heater core replacement

That is the cover I took off, but I don't see the core in it. I might have to remove something else inside the cover to see it. '87 camaro, V6, No Air is what I have BTW.

Thanks for the quick reply and picture, But that is not what I saw when I removed the cover. But the brownish strip in your picture looks like what i did see, just nothing to the left of it (encased). I will take a picture of it tomorrow when I look at it again and repost any of my findings. '87 camaro V6 with no ac BTW.

Re: Heater core replacement

Hey, I am a new member with this same heatercore problem. I have partially disassebled the dash already. I just want to know the location of the 5 screws that hold hush panel on so I can remove it to get to corebox screws more easily. Thanks!!
