Hi. folks, anybody have any tips, pointers or short cuts for replacing the heater core in my 93 Legacy. Not lookin' forward to this one at all. Thanks, S.

In the process of doing a heater core replacement on my 1990 AWD Legacy L. It took me about two hours to get the old core out. I found it was easier to simply take the whole console off--including taking out the radio/heat/gauges separately. Also easier if you disconnect the AC box from the firewall.

 

I thought this write up was rather useful:

Still waiting on my core to show up. The car will run and drive without the dash, you just lose your turn signals and high(?) beams--brake lights work.
