This is an ac 69 heater box. The arrows indicate where 4 screws have been removed and the circled area is a stud for fixing through firewall. It appears the 4 screws secure a separate housing to the outer box which holds
the heater core, it wiggles and moves but the stud prevents easy removal of housing. Do I continue wiggling and prying around stud to remove core housing or am I missing something with this hunk of ****!?!?!?!?!!? Thanks

The two left-most screw holes secure a metal plate that has a bracket that "hooks" over the two outlet tubes.

You need to remove the arm assembly to the flapper door on the top of the box to get the core support out. The link above has a pretty good step by step - you're down to step 12 already.

Do you know from experience about removing flapper door linkage to remove heater core? It says nothing about it holding heater core in, more like remove it for restoring purposes...........just asking. If there was a cliff near me I would roll this piece.of **** over it, insurance payout is more than the ******* hassle with these abortions.
Orig dated Harrison heater core, too bad had to **** it up to get box out of car. Bent tubes upward to pull box from firewall, was unable to rotate box to get tubes through. All duct work is removed so no damage should mar reassembly months from now........
