What is the best way to remove and replace the heater core from my 97 Ford Aerostar. I've removed the cover behind the glovebox and can see most of the core - but I can't access the connections to the coolant lines. What is the best way to get to these?

Thanks,
Jan

Hi Jan,

Have you looked under the hood? Usually that is the best way not neccessarily the easiest way to get to the Connections to remove them.

Don't forget to put down some plastic and an old towel or 2 so you don't get coolant on the carpet. It is a bear to get that smell out.
