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

if you think a third gen is bad, try an 82 volvo 240.......that took me 5+ hours and a million colorful metaphors to get through.

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. Wink

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". Laughing
