Re: How to replace 95 Achieva heater core... Drain the antifreeze. Keep the drain pan under the heater core hoses. Disconnect the battery. Remove the hose clamps/ 2 hoses fom the heater core from under the hood in the engine compartment. These hoses are hard to reach. You can try to reach the hose clamps from under the raised car. Inside the car: remove the center console if you have one (there is a little clip to pry out from the front of the trans-shift lever), heater ducts and covers and the square black plastic heater core cover. You will need various small sockets. Then just snap the 2 straps loose and replace the core. Make sure that the hoses are not the source of the leaks. Replace the hoses if they are old. One of the hoses is 3/4" on one end and 5/8" on the other end. So, you will need a hose size adapter in the hose if it not a factory hose assembly. I dont remember the size of the other hose.
loosen the clamp holding the hose on to a fitting and pull the hose free.
Disconnect the rubber hoses from the heater and the intake. Once the clamp is removed, take a sharp knife and split the rubber ends and peal them off. DO NOT pull on the heater core as you can damage the heater core. Take a hacksaw and cut the band off and replace the heater hose using new clamps.
Replacing the heater hose bypass fitting will depend on how the fitting was installed. It could be screwed or bolted in. Try searching for your specific vehicle for a detailed description of the install.
You need to remove the two sections of the hose carrier assembly. Then unscrew the inner hose adapter and replace with a new one. Typically these break when you leave water in the hose and it freezes.You can buy the new assembly for around $5 in Canada at Rona.
