Changing the heater core requires complete removal of the dash panel and plenum box. To do this you have to remove the steering wheel, steering column, evacuate and recharge the refrigerant system and drain the radiator. I would only consider changing the heater core if it is physically leaking into the passenger compartment. If the problem is heat transfer to the HVAC system only, the problem is more likely with the blend doors. Check heatertreater.net for pictures and diagnostic information.

wjjeeps.com has good instructions for dash removal.

The dash on a 1992 Ford Explorer is connected almost completely by pressure pins that do not need to be removed. The only two screws are hex screws holding the ash tray in. Open the ash tray, and remove the two screws on either side of it. Then (with an automatic you may have to move the gear shift down, make sure the car is in park!) starting along the edges gently pry the dash away with your hands. This is the difficult part. The 4x4 control (if included) is connected by the dash. After you have loosened the dash, reach behind the 4x4 control and press on the back of it until it pops out towards you. Now you have to mess with it until you find an angle that it will slide through the opening. Once this is done, your dash should be free.

The question you ask is too involved for a proper answer. You need to go to a car parts store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library
