I'm in the process of replacing the heater core in my 1990 grand marquis. I've unhooked the neg battery cable, drained the coolant and removed the two heater hoses. Then it says take off the three nuts below the wiper motor... there is one nut that is next to where the heater hoses attach to the firewall/plenum then two more on the bottom, is that what they are talking about? Either way I got those.
I took off the wood trim on the front and around the instrumental panel/speedo and crap and also pulled that back after dropping the steering wheel (and unhooking the shift indicator). I've got the bolts under the kick panels too. This is where I'm getting confused.
I've read 86vickylx's heater core write up many times and there are many differences in the dash between the 1990 models and earlier models that must make the process very different. I say this because I can't remove the top of the dash pad as easily as it seems to be done in that write up. I can see the heater core housing from behind the glove compartment and even jiggle it around a little, I feel so close yet so far away.
If anyone can offer me assistance with this I would be very grateful because I'm trying to have this done by either monday or sometime this week. like that's gonna happen. I'll come back with more specific questions but in the meantime I'm gonna go see what else I can do.
