Changing a heater core on a 4 runner with AC requires discharging the AC, removing the dash and then removing the heater box. The job is around 6 - 8 hours for a shop to do.
AnswerActually I own a 3.0L not sure about the 2.4L but you dont need to discharge the A/C at all. Basically you need to take the whole dash apart yes, it is fairly easy just remember where the parts go back into place.

Drain the cooling system. Remove the water hoses from the heater core. Remove the heater core retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new heater core.
Remove the heater control valve and replace it.
