Default How to replace the Heater Core

I have to work on a 2001 Honda Civic and am wondering what is the easyest procedure to get this done as quick as possible.

Also if their is any hidden screws/bolts or nuts that I might need to know about Thank you.

I don't think there is an easy way to do the job. For example, you must remove the dashboard and evaporator to get the heater core out.

Well I began to take it apart and I finaly have the dash off. Dame this thing is a nightmare.

IT has stero system and after market alarm BS and usless gauges. Took me about 2hrs. what a PITA.

Now I just have to figure out how to get the heater box out without takeing the A/C Evaporator out.

Any Suggestions ????????????????

The evaporator must be removed. Let us know if you find some creative, non-destructive work around.
