Heater Core replacement and a/c repair
Hello. I am ready to reinstall my heater box with a new core. All stepper motors have been checked and ball joints lubed, etc. (Thanks to all the info here and on 12.v and others.) While I'm at it I'm installing a new cabin filter (my car didn't have one previously). From the flap on the passenger side well just past the filter position I can see a really filthy ac core(?). I'm this far along and would like to replace this core too but can't find anything written on it and I don't have the Bentlty yet. Anyone have any suggestions, pointers, links, cautions about this? Thanks!

The Bentley has a write up..I have attached a PDF. If you have the heater core out..you discharge the A/C and remove some hardware to get to the evaporator. You can clean your old one..yes they get gunked up without the cabin filter. I did mine in situ...it works fine..but not completely clean. They make a foam spray products for cleaning evaporators. Easy enough with the evaporator still in the car. Bentley says: The evaporator housing cannot be disassembled and must be replaced as an assembly..
