I have had a small coolant leak that didn't leave any evidence of a leak for months, except for fogged up windows. I figured it must be the heater core. I FINALLY got around to changing the heater core, and I realized how much it sucks to work outside in the cold.

I got the whole dash out in an hour, but it got dark before I could get everything back together. I could be a professional chop shop worker.

Yea heater cores are always a bitch. No matter what model or make the car they are always a pain in the *** to get to... or at least it seems that way.

Removing the dash is the hardest part. If you've done that before it shouldn't be too bad.

I finished up a little while ago, and so far it seems ok. Hopefully I don't get any more leaks.
