Took me longer to process the video. I used my kid's computer (Windows Vista). It was a bit problematic. I'd say the process took longer than actual removal. The video is only 36 minutes with some dead spots and some bad lighting-- sorry.

Part 2 is the reinstall with the new one. I'm still puting things back together like my 2 new heater hoses and cleaning up different things
 
I know some modern cars and SUVs are so difficult like my friends Lincoln Navigator; the hackjob is to take the glovebox door off and cut through the plastic backpanel with a utility knife. Obviously, the way to do a modern throw away car and old car are really different. My fear was to break a plastic panel or break an electrical wire. I would not have trusted any half wit mechanic to do a heater core now or back in the day. At the least, a good mechanic would have his hands full with the level of care needed. Too many shops would have just cut ever corner to get the job done. Luckily I know some really good shops, but with a 3 week wait to get a job started
 
A good friend of mine who's a brilliant mechanic was just telling me the horrors of doing one on a Lincoln town car.
I think it took him almost two days. That's also because he does things right.
 
Just think if all vehicles had two or three in one vehicle. Heat sure is nice when someone is freezing lol I like that cool looking breather double neck.
