Hello -
I'm neck deep in removing the heater core on my 04... having issues pulling the assembly out.
I'm 99% sure I've got everything disconnected - dash is out, wiring disconnected, heater lines/AC, 4 firewall nuts.
when trying to pull the assembly out, the driver's side is free, but the passenger side is hanging up - there is a little play, but it won't come out. It feels like the mounting bolt threads by the AC lines are hung up on the firewall - I get that noise of threads rubbing but it hangs up pretty quickly and won't budge.
Should that assembly come right out or does it have to be massaged at just the right angle? I'm afraid of pulling too hard and breaking something. The evap lines seem to be free - I can push on them from the engine side and there is a little movement.
