need a website for installing heater core

82 GT · 07-19-2004, 07:55 PM

Does anyone have good website for a step by step procedure for installing a heater core in an 87-93 mustang?
I had one before but lost it when I had to re-boot windows last year and I'm getting ready to change mine in the near future soon.

Don't know how accurate this is, I've not used it, but should give you some insight....

Piece of cake!

Non Air conditioned car: Remove glove box door, remove 2 screws. Remove heater hoses. Remove heater core. Reverse procedure to reinstall.

A/C equipped car: Remove right rear taillight lens and work your way in from there! LOL

Good luck!

Changing a heater core on a A/C equiped Mustang is not hard at all. It just takes some time if you have never done it before.

Wow, 9 hours is the estimite from that site. I did mine in 4 a few years ago.

Don't feel intimidated, its really not hard at all. Just keep all your hardware orginized and you won't run into any problems.

The dealer did mine, I went to see the progress and I almost cried when i seen my car.. the entire dash was appart just to get to it. and yes it was a A/C car. the comment of the right tail light and move upwards was hillarious but it kinda symbolizes what your going to go though.
