Removing the heater core?
Do I have to drop the fender to get to that bolt under the heater core/blower on the right side??
or is there an easier way? |

Re: Removing the heater core?
You do not have to drop the complete well. I loosen it up and let it drop a little. Then I can get part of my hand in there along with a 1/4'' drive extension.

I loosen a wheel well also and was able to get it out. PO of my truck did it a little different. He cut the upper portion off.

Re: Removing the heater core?
My truck's previous owner had a similar solution: just cut a "U" into the fender well and bend the middle back! I thought it was rust damage for the first few months till I started looking closer!

Re: Removing the heater core?
I just put a heater core in my truck a couple weeks ago, was extremely easy since I have no inner fenders right now.

Re: Removing the heater core?
Not sure. It looks like the pic with the cut up heater box has the 3/4" port on top. Mines on the bottom. Still heats well. Blower mtr sucks however
