Heater Core Help PLEASE !
 

has anyone ever pulled out heater core in 90-93 accord if so please help !

I've never done that job but it does require major effort w/ dashboard removal, etc.

What is causing you to consider replacement? It is rare for heater core to fail.

good luck

was trying to replace heater hose and messed up the outlet on heater core ;( it's almost imposable to get to hose for removable between firewall & motor !

I was afraid of that. Those ends have to be split w/ a sharp razor knife to remove.

I would suggest you download a 90-93 Accord manual from Online Manuals post in DiY forum. I think there are several options.

I've never done this job, so can't offer any advice beyond shop manual.

I checked youtube and there are several "accord heater core replacement" videos. Check these out.

I think yours will not be much different than this video.
Here is Billy Jim Bob's version:

thanks but all these video's show everything already torn out I need something that shows me step by step ! what a bunch of crap just for 1 little part ! :mad: ...I cant find any links to down load a Honda Tech service Manual do you have one ?..

Here's the thread w/ links to manuals.

Try google searches. You may not find a "step by step".

good luck

thanks man im just going to have too bypass the core for now, I just don't feel comfortable doing this myself & every shop I call wants $600.00 or more to change a 50.00 part im just screwed for now ! Thanks for all your help.... Just way to technical for me ...

Actually $600 doesn't sound that unreasonable. I guess you saw how much disassembly of dash is req'd.

Any chance to rehabilitate your heater core ends?

good luck

I too have a damaged heater core tube, the previous owner managed to some how smash the end with a pliers or something so its oval shaped. Is it possible to fix this car is a 1992 lax well the body is any how...

The tube is thin brass material and easy to deform if you're trying to remove a heater hose.

You might try inserting needle nose pliers and carefully expanding to remove oval shape. If you get it pretty close you may be able to get a seal on hose end w/ help of some RTV sealant.

good luck
