Removing Heater Core?

[samwise68]

Hey all,

Winter's around the corner and my heater core is leaky. I have a replacement one out of one of my other trucks, but I ran into a hitch this afternoon - how do I get the heater core/fan assembly out?

I mean, yes. Take the bolts out, etc. But, there are some clearance issues with the inner fender and the bottom bolts.

Please don't tell me I need to take my inner fender out, just to remove it...

Anyone have any tips or tricks? I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

-Sam.
