Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting replacing heater core

hey, i´ve done a search on this but couldn´t find the info i´m looking for;
has anyone of you performed a heater core replacement? ány info on how to do it exactly would help me alot.
btw, i tried to seal the leaking heater core with some sorta coolant system sealant and it just clogged up the heater core; well, at least it´s not leaking anymore.
is the heater core supposed to be removed from outside? probably not; will I have to pull the whole dashboard or just the lower part of it.
thanks for any input...

Pretty easy on this car.

Remove the hoses from the outside. (hassle)
Remove trim in front of center console. (couple of screws)
Remove the floor vent at the bottom of the duct. (three screws)
Remove the bottom section of duct, snaps on so dont break the tabs.
Pull it out and open it up, heater core is inside.

thank god
I almost wanted to sell it...
