John,

As you must have figured out, you have to remove the rear seat (watch those side brackets, they can shred the hell out of vinyl of the interior side panels) or eliminate the portion of the rear heater housing cover which is below the heater diffuser. The first time I popped off one of those covers, I was a purist and I removed the rear seat figuring that the cover would not need to be removed for a long time. Obviously, I had forgotten about the bleeder hidden away in there.

The cleanest way I found to cut off that strip of reinforced plastic is, once the cover has been removed, with a cutoff wheel chucked into a die grinder. The quickest way is to carefully cut it with a fine toothed jab saw with the cover in place.

George
