OK, then tell me how you got those silly tubes back in, and the
elbow/grommets seated over them. Inquiring minds want to know...
Andrew Errington had this to say:
>>
>> AAAAAH! Stop right now!
>>
>> No, really, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE BOX! You'll only come to grief.
>> Merely remove the front cover of the box (after removing the clips and
>> the two water hoses) and simply and easily remove the heater core from
>> the box. Leave the main box in place.

>I also found that removing and reseating the tubes from the heater box
>(below the firewall) was not hard, and in fact a worthwhile exercise.
