I am looking at the write up and it says that you need to fool with the heater hoses, do you really have to.
Absolutely!
You will need to disconnect the heater hoses from the heater core in order to remove the heater box.
Be careful with the coolant that comes out!
I would recommend some hose clamps to minimize spillage, but its gonna get messy either way.
Just get some large CLEAN jugs before you start to collect all the coolant you are going to have to drain.
DO NOT just let it spill everywhere, it is extremely harmful to animals like cats and dogs. They WILL drink it if they smell it because glycol smells and tastes sweet. Glycol will cause kidney failure if injested!
Removing the WHOLE dash isnt really necesary, but you will have to at least fold down the window, un-bolt everything and prop it open with a 2x4 or something. Just make sure you disconect the battery so that you dont short out your dash while you are doing it.
Anyways, its totally worth it, so do it mang!
You wont be cold this winter.
