    Heater Box removal, anyone?

    How do you get the heater box out? The dash is removed, the heater core lines and the A/C lines are disconnected, the bolt at the center console is removed and the 4 nuts holding the heater box at the blower motor area/cowl are removed but still it's not coming off. Any help on how to remove it without damaging it will be appreciated, I don't want to work around without removing it. Thanks.

    .....sounds like you got it all.........there is a glue on foam type gaskets that surrounds the area where the blower motor pokes through shell.....there is also a rubber plug that goes through the firewall (surrounds the rad inlet/ outlet tubing)................you have to pull it out from the bottom

      That makes sense, I'll look into that. Thanks.

        There's drains and floor air ducts that may have to be removed too if they are there. It should be ready to come out though.
