For those of you who remember, last week I replaced the two heater hoses on my '88 GT. I noticed that the one tube was pretty loose and didn't notice any leaks when I was finished.
Tonight my windows fogged up and I smelled antifreeze but I still had good heat.
Am I screwed?
I've heard that the entire dash and center console must be removed and even the steeering column must be dropped.
I read this in my Haynes manual tonight.
It appears that the dash and console removal is really the harderst part. Is that true?
How long will it take an average person to do this on a car with
A/C?
