Subject:      Help! How get to rear heater?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I'm trying to replace a burst coolant hose that goes to the rear heater.
How do I get to the rear heater? I lifted up the rear bench seat and
removed the six screws I found. Stupidly, I thought I'd be able to lift
off the shroud. But no, the shroud encircles the outlet so that it still
cannot be lifted off.
Do I have to remove the rear seat baseboard? Or, is there someway to
pull off the plastic outlet vent?
Neither the Bentley or Haynes manuals give any help other than showing
exactly the same picture of it with the shroud already removed.
Help! I ned to get my van back on the road asap.

PS. Since I am now in Arizona, do I even need this auxiliary heater? Is
there any way to bypass it?
