Guys,

Need your help. I have everything out, but now I'm at the frame within the dash. How do I get the frame out? I don't know exactly what to do with these two areas, unfortunately. #ProjectHeaterCore

do a search on here for heater core replacement. there was a guy who posted how he did it without removing the windshield (sorry i couldnt find it. i just saw it within the last week or so)

otherwise you have to remove the windshield.

The windshield needs to come out and the second pic is a guide pin.
