Dash has to come out, cross brace needs to come out, ac needs to be evacuated, coolant drained or clamped off, remove hvac box and seperate.

Aight mista I wanna be a ganksta. What is it you want to check with the lines at the heater core? If they are leaking. There is no easier way to R&I the heater core then what I explained.

Heater core hose bypass

Wow what an old thread, but maybe some one might learn something. Heater hose to the firewall broke (plastic connector). Leaked out all of the coolant and having to tow the car home. To repair and put back the hose looked difficult, if not expensive. Having to remove the dashboard and what not. It took me a while but I figured out where the other hose that led to the heater core was and was able to just bypass the heater core all together. Once I found it was basically a few minutes and done. Sure I have no heater, but I'm Miami I never would have to use it anyways.
