Hey everyone, new to both this forum and using forums in general so apologies in advance for any noob-ish material in this post.
So I have recently had an issue with overheating, which has been narrowed down to a very tired heater core (absolutely no heat in cabin when engine temp is almost half on the gauge) so I have temporarily bypassed this by attaching the inlet to the return lines on one side of the water pump. This has solved my overheating issue for now.
HOWEVER, I am currently most of the way through removing the whole dash assembly to access and replace the core itself, yet I cannot remove the heater unit assembly as I am unsure how to disconnect the A/C lines that run into the passenger side footwell area (just behind the passenger airbag).
This is preventing me from removing the unit and therefore the heater core (yes, I have removed all other bolts holding the unit on).
Can someone please tell me how to do this - am I overlooking something very simple or is this actually somewhat tricky to do?
