Changing out heater core tomorrow

[shadowfax101]

I have heard several people talk about cutting the top bolt instead of fighting with it. I was just wondering how many of you have done this.

[Bob Barry]

I wouldn't do it; dropping the A/C unit only adds ten minutes to the removal job, and you have to take it down to really get at the lower bolt anyway.

Don't do it, just unbolt it...

[Gwamp]

Just drop your AC unit and do it. You will need a 7/16 deep well socket to get at it right. I just tightened up the ones on my Cherokee tonight.

This will be the easiest heater core you will EVER change...I wouldn't worry about taking a ten minute shortcut.

Cutting the bolt is something a DSPO would do. Don't become a DSPO !

With absolutely no skill and a history of nothing being simple, even I did the ten minute part of the job in less than 30 minutes
