To get the heater core out, I pulled the cover off after removing the board in front pipes for the rear seat (I remember people saying you have to pull the whole seat out, but using a screwdriver to get the cover over the lip of sound cork on the floor, I found the cover had just enough clearance between the seat tubing and the outlet to come off), undid the two screws on the side of the heater core, and slid the core out. I found a bunch of crust on the back and underside of the core which I had not seen when looking into air outlet... Pulling the outlet portion of the assembly off, I found more scaling on the floor of the assembly. The whole job took about 15 minutes to pull the thing off (excluding the 15 minutes I sat wondering if I could get the cover off without removing the whole seat... I'm kinda lazy...). dave
