Heater Core Who has done one in a Blazer??

[BlazerBoy]

I have done several heater cores in other vehicles.. some times that are a real pain in the @$% and some times they are pretty easy... I havent done one yet on the blazer but I will tonight, Just looking to get a heads up what I am in for. Is it pretty easy or is it going to be a pain??

AC or not? I've had my non AC one out numerous times since I converted it over to non AC from AC. On non AC, unbolt the heater hoses. Unbolt the studs from the engine compartment. I'd pull the glove box from the inside for room. Remove the heater cables from the "valves" on the box. Just wiggle the little retainer, it will come up without breaking. Disconnect the defroster right above the tranny hump from the heater box. Should be able to wiggle the box towards you sitting in the passenger seat. Then slip it under the dash. Thats about it. AC not too sure, procedure is probably pretty close to the same.

HAVE FUN!! They are not that bad. Pull the glove box door, 3 or 4 bolts under the hood, and a few under the dash. And the cables and vacume lines. The whole box comes out and then splitts. I've done both the Blazer and Burben. Enjoy!!

It's one of those projects where it sounds easy,but it takes awhile to do! Lot's of screws to remove, have fun!

Not horrible but will take some time. There are a couple hidden bolts and one you just about need to remove the inner fender on the passengerside (it's not bad to pull and you don't need to take the wheel off just set it on the tire). DO NOT PULL ON THE A/C BOX UNDER THE HOOD! The inside and outside box sandwich the fire wall. The under hood box has sealent around it and as long as you don't mess with it you will not have a problem with the seal. From the inside on the right hand side of the box is a bolt that you really have to look for. The rest are studs with speed nuts from under the hood. There is a 1/4 or 9/32 bolt that holds the defroster duct to the top of the box and sort of hard to get at. with the glove box out it locate sort of behind the ashtray.
Like I said it's not horrible just have to pull a few hundred bolts
