I had to have my heater core replaced. It is a major job. The entire dash had to be removed. I took to local shop. About 6-8 hours labor. Ouch !
This is a brief description of how to access the heater core. Plan at least 8 hours. My first time took 2 weekends. I found that many other descriptions (including the manuals) made me remove lots of items that did not need to be (radio-cd-player). Here are the essentials.
1: Disconnect Battery Terminals
2: Remove the center console
A: Pull the front storage shelves (light pressure) B: Pull the cup holders C: Loosen the screw that holds the wiring harness until the harness is free D: Remove the two bolts from the dash E: Remove the two bolts under the cup holders F: Pull the center console straight back (is held under rear by open ended clip) apply as much pressure as needed.
3: Remove the steering wheel column
A: Remove the emergency brake lever holder B: Remove the hood latch lever holder C: Remove any remaining bolts on the bottom of this cover D: Pull this cover straight back to release from pressure pins E: Remove 4 bolts holding steering column and collar F: Remove bolt from steering column u-joint G: Pull steering column off - lay on front seat
4: Remove the dash-board
A: Remove the dash vent by pulling straight up B: Remove the small screws across the fron that are now exposed C: Remove the kick panels from both sides of the dash D: Remove the passenger air-bag (gain access through the glove-box) E: Disconnect all wiring harnesses on passenger side behind kick pannel F: Get a helper G: Remove the 5 brass bolts (two on left, two in the middle, one on right) H: Remove the dash from the firewall I: Pull passenger side back out of the way to gain access to plenum
5: Remove the Plenum (it may be nessecary to remove the A/C accumulator out of the way for this step - have your A/C coolant removed professionally, then refilled when completed)
A: Remove the 4 bolts holding the plenum to the fire wall (2 inside 2 outside). The hardest bolt to reach is located behing the engine in the middle of the firewall about two feet down and cannot be seen, just felt. B: After removing the plenum, remove the hose from the heater core and pull it through the fire wall.
6: Reassemble

The heater core is located under the dash board, all you have to do is disconect the heater hoses then unbolt the consol and slide it back far enought to be able to unbole the heater core and slide it out. The install is just reversed from removal. Joe
