Removing a Heater Core
Hot engine coolant goes through the tube of your heater core as part of a process that results in bringing heat to your vehicle. When this part needs to be removed, information on what to do before, during and after removal can be helpful.
Before Removal
On the passenger side of an automobile under the dash is a box that the heater core is in. You should notice the steel clamps that are screwed in to secure the heater core. You can take off the clamps and screws to free the core.
During Removal
Because water will be present in your heater core as you remove it, you should provide some form of cover for your vehicles carpet. You should be caul when taking out the heater core, as it may take a little elbow grease to pull it loose.
After Removal
After you have taken the heater core out, you can replace it with a new one and check the results. Once everything is installed, filling the system with water will allow you to perform a leak check. The heat should be turned up full blast while checking for signs of leaks.
