there are seven bolts in the dash, but have to take 2 bolts out that hold the fuse box plus 4 nuts that hold the steering column up and you can pull back the dash enough to get at the heater box and there 3 or 4 bolts that hold it in. then you can see 4 bolts on top of the heater core housing that you can take out. oh don't for get to disconnect the a/c hoses on the firewall and the bracket there are 2 nuts be careful. i did my wife's heater core in her 87 t-bird last week. if need pictures i have them okay at robdean2@hotmail.com

in order to remove a heater core, you must take apart the whole dash. when i tookout my heater core in my cougar i had a hard time and i cut the dash and later on i founf out that you take it all apart. that's all i know. Dustin from pa

What helped me the most was this website, it practically walked me through every step. Be careful with the dash, mine was very fragile and i came close to cracking it many times in this process. good luck! http://www.turbotbird.com/techinfo/Heater_Core/heater_core_replacement.htm

1989 Ford Thunderbird heater core needs replaced how does it compare to 1996 blazer heater core removal and installation Is the thunderbird more difficult?

much more difficult. Ford usually install the dash as a unit and the heater core goes in from the front. If you have nerve enough, remove the glovebox and you should be able to see the bulge where the heater core is. Cover should be plastic, carefully cut the housing big enough to remove the core, remove it, reinstall. Can be done, just takes a little time and effort. Not as much as doing it the "right" way. <2008-04-18> Agreed. Would suggest Bar's Leaks or just bypassing the heater core. I live in Florida, heater core has two uses -- (1) to "warm up" the cold AC, mine is VERY cold without the heater core, to where I have to periodically cycle the compressor. (2) to heat the defroster air. Without a heater core, the cold air on defrost winds up counter productive.
