Need info of whats involved for heater core removal in a 82 z, or good book too follow by,--------looks like a pain, but havent attempted yet.

 

When I replaced the heater core in my '92 I had to take the entire dash and console out. I would definitely suggest getting the factory service manual for this job. Getting everything back in and aligned properly is a pain, but it can be done.

 

thanks, t.p.---my chilton book made it sound easy, it said on right hand side the heater unit comes apart in two pieces, and too remove right side too get too core. YEA RIGHT.-ITS ALL one piece as faR AS I CAN SEE.

 

I just took one out of my parts car a couple days ago (90 RS). It is two pieces, but there are about 8 screws to get it apart. Some of them are kind of hidden. Look carefully and you will find them and it will come out. Good luck.

 

The ones at the top are a b**** I used a 12in 1/4 extension and pull the front dash cover on the pass side and look closely thru the small gap and you can see the top ones. If the extension is long enough you can get them from there. Maybe a universal wouldn't hurt.

They arent too bad to remove. Some of the screws are a pain though. Aligning it back in took some adjustment when i did it.
