Hey man, great videos! Both part 1 and 2 are extremely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make a video of this job! I have a couple of helpful hints to add for anyone doing this job. When taking out the defrost vent in the middle of the dash, I did use a screw driver with some tape on it but, I put a bondo spreader under the screw driver. Then pried up on the vent. It helped to distribute the pressure of the screw driver a lot better and protects the dash. Also, all the nuts and bolts you point out behind the glove box, I didn't take out and it made no difference. It comes out no problem and you have plenty of room to get the heater core out. Thanks again man, I really appreciate your videos! They made this job so much easier!

Geeeeez! I changed a heater core in a Chevy Cavalier once (1996). Easy! It had one panel next to the floor. You remove that panel and there was the core. I knew other cores were hard to get to but I didn't think they would be this hard. Would it be easier to just cut a hole in the firewall?....lol.

I started at 9am and had the dash disassembled by 11a but the next 4 hours I kept trying to figure out why the heater box didnt separate from the firewall. The 2nd screw on the engine side I didnt remove because I didnt think it was part of the heater box assembly. The one under the blower motor resistor I removed and the one next to the heater core ports I did.

Well, it may be similar. Not sure what to tell ya really, In my experience when you don't know exactly what you're doing just take your time, take notes, and if something doesn't come apart easily don't force it because you probably missed a nut or bolt. I guess hike up that skirt and good luck! I

for a 1994 you dont have to get that bolt in the evap housing, you dont even need to take off the kick panels. i took them out anyway to have lots of room. theres only 3 bolts in the bottom that hold the bottom part of the dash and the 4 above in the speaker and defrost vent area and it comes out. i took off the speedometer console thing to avoid breaking it. of course to get to that you neet to take off some superficial panels... a 1994 s10 p/u is much easier, but great video man! thanks

I bypassed my heater core and installed a 12 volt heater that I wired to the battery. This is absolutly ridiculous to have to disassemble the whole truck to get to the heater core.

I’m working on doing this right now, and I really, REALLY don’t want to. I’d set it on fire, but it’s already set itself on fire before. Intake fires crisped up my spider injector lines. Luckily I don’t have to unhook the lines going to my heater sore because the heater core busted, lost all coolant, and bypassed the heater core.

Got a question for you. First, great video, very useful. I removed my dash completely (02 Sonoma) and took off 3 nuts from the firewall (engine side) as you mentioned, and the nut on the lower right of the heater box on the inside of the vehicle but it won't tip. It almost does but seems that there's something hung up. I noticed when you went and took out the last nut from the inside (bottom right), there are, what looks to be, the back of two studs about 2" to either side of the final nut that you removed. Are there nuts on the other side of those? I'm having trouble finding them but that seems to be where it's hanging up. Thanks.

Not to be a smartass, but every time you need to unplug any electrical harness components, it's good practice to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Other than that great vid.

I had to remove the dash because of a loose clutch pedal and I was missing a few screws under the speaker covers and by the dashboard vent port, which I found out about in your vid. BTW, I honestly cannot think of a reason why GM would use a crappy plastic axis for the clutch pedal to pivot on, since the clutch is THE one pedal that gets mashed constantly, and besides the brake pedal does have a metal bolt to hold it in place. Any ideas, besides fucking with the owner, as to why they would do that?
