I was driving on Sunday and all of a sudden hot Anti-freeze starting pouring in on the pass side. The whole side is flooded, no needless to say, I'm sure I blew the heater core. I will have to remove the whole heater box.
As far as I can tell I have to remove the glovebox ( how I am going to get that out without breaking the board is going to hard in itself). Can the whole heater box come out without taking the dash out. This is an A/C 69 B body.
Any specific steps to take?
 
Read the Factory Service Manual. You do not need to remove the entire assembly, you can remove the front cover that houses the heater core. It's a bad job but the dash doesn't need to come out. Good luck on getting the glove box insert out, I've never had any luck removing them.
 
There are many fail points inside there besides the heater core. Did you know there are two 5/8" heater hoses inside your box? Along with a water valve and two o-rings on the inlet pipes where they bolt to the box.

It's not much fun but try to diagnose it in the car and see what's leaking.

The box will come out with the dash in place.

The glove box liner was put in from the back with dash out of car. And it's easier to work on it with that liner removed.
 
Thanks, I know that the glove box its going to a pain to remove. Let's see what happens.
