Default Heater Core Removal time

I don't have any heat, maybe just something plugged in the heater core or maybe its dead. Anyways, about how long does it take to do the job, i just want to know so i don't get started and i have to end up pulling an all nighter, thanks.

I've done two of these now. Its alot of work because the dash has to be pulled to do this. i don't know the whole story behind your car, but just make sure your not low on coolant, there is not air in the coolant system, etc. I have never had to replace a heater core in a Honda because it was bad. That dosn't mean anything I know, just trying to save you alot of work if not needed. My 2cents

Well, it had been sitting outside for a year with burnt coolant in it, so its probably just plugged. I flushed the coolant and i didn't bleed the system per FSM, just how i usually do, so i guess i'll try and bleed the coolant again, and see if i get any changes, thanks.

I don't think the windshield has anything to do with takin out the dash.u should try buying a haynes manuel.....
