Hello all - I'm new so please don't laugh at my question as I'm only a novice repair guy. Certainly wouldn't call myself a mechanic. Not hardly. I'm in over my head and I know it. I can't seem to find anything on YOUTUBE or in any of the posts here about how to change out the heater core on my 2004 Xfire limited. The repair manual postings suggest that the entire HVAC system is pulled out and then it describes how to put a new heater core in. Other posts on the web suggest: Take out the glove compartment console and such so that you can get to the HVAC system and that you can do it from there without having to remove the entire HVAC assembly. Others' note you have to pull the entire dashboard out to do this (heater core replacement).

I do have the glove box and entire assembly out of the way so that at least I can see the entire HVAC system.

Again, I'm an engineer, but definitely NOT a mechanic.

Any help/support/assistance would be greatly appreciated. If there's a video out there? Something??

thx,
B.
