Removing the Dash
 

Hey guys, I have a problem. My heater core sprung a leak on the way to wyoming :mad:. I am a student at Wyotech but i cant work on my car at the moment because i am in a class that is all about transmissions and drivelines and they only let you do class related work.

I pulled up the info on ALLdata and it seems like this is a HUGE hedache to take care of. I would just say fuck it and loop the lines under the hood but it gets really really cold and i need some way to defrost the inside of the windows.

My questions are: how hard is it to pull the dash and how long would it take? Am i going to have to disconect the AC lines or is there a way around it? I would be doing this outside mostly in the windy 0 degree weather so i'm almost positive that i will break a lot of stuff in the process.

I can't afford to take it to a shop because i dont have $1K+ to get this crappy POS heater core fixed.

You don't have to remove the dash. It's all accessed from under the dash on the passenger side, as is most modern cars. I took all that crap out of my car years ago, I never had to remove the dash to do it. If the leak isn't that bad, you might be able to get away with a bottle of Bar's leak, or something similar poured into the filler neck.
