heater core

[certherfbeef]

I have to replace the heater core on my 92 F350.
I have the part.

Does anyone have any helpful advise to make this job eaiser?
I don't want to hear about how poorly designed it is, or to avoid changing it just buy a chevy. I have no options but to replace this heater core, by myself.

Just some tips from someone that has done it on something newer than a 79. That one was easy.
I have to remove the glove box and be pretty flexible to even get to the bolts.
I thought when I married a mechanic I could quit fixing my own stuff. Guess I was wrong.

If you want a ton of info on that truck or any Ford diesel (I am guessing its diesel) join up real quick on: thedieselstop.com , the people on the board are great and know everything about the Ford trucks.

I've tried to go on the diesel stop site but you cant with some free e-mail addresses. Is there another way?

My yahoo account works, just try yahoo, gmail, or hotmail, one of them has to work

I've tried with my hotmail,so I guess I'll try with yahoo.

I managed to get it replaced, by myself. I'm far from a mechanic. But if I can do it...so can everyone else.

Takes some patience and about 3 hours. I lost some skin on my knuckles and the back of my hand but it was worth it for a warm truck.
