LOL most cars are like that actually.
Some cars you have to remove the inner fender.
Easiest I ever did was an 88 Ranger though. A rare +1 to Furd _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

How long is the book on a late 90's Dodge Ram? I seem to remember that one being a real err... female involving complete removal of the dash.
Did one in a mid 90's Caddy one time. Came out through the glovebox. Took like 20 mins. |

One bolt I couldn't get to made my heater core in the '84 an hour+ job. I left that bolt out when I put it back together. Now I can do it in 20 minutes, tops.
My friend has an Isuzu Spacecab he's doing a heater core on, and the book time is almost 5 hours. Step one is "Remove steering wheel".  _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56
