Heater Core Box Removal One ????
Yes, I am in the PITA of all jobs, heater core replacement. Why would I do this in Florida? Anyway, can one of you tell me where to access the nut on the stud for the upper left corner? I cant find it under the hood, and I imagine that is where it is??
Thanks

Oh boy, It just goes from bad to worse. I found the nut on the firewall neat the ac box, but now the +&*%##@# upper right bolt holding the box on is stripped, or probably the cage nut or whatever secures the bolt has broken.
Doe anyone have a idea what to do now? I dont think I can drill the bolt head, beacuse of the location. I dont want to resort to a bubba fix unless it is the last resort, HOWEVER, there is no way at this point that I am going to give up! I WILL replace that D*mn heator core!

When i did my 72 454 with a/c I had a big rivet in the top center holding the box on. I took the bolts off of the corners then i had to drill out the rivet with a 12" drill bit. When i put it back together the corner bolts held it on fine. I hear they put this rivet on at the factory during assembly.
