Heater Core removal 99+ Grand Am'sxeroinfinity 02-09-2007, 07:48 PM The core is located in the middle of the dash, toward the bottom of the floor. 1- disconnect the battery , drain the cooling system. 2- disconnect the heater hoses from under the hood. -Plug the end of the heater core pipes(so you dont get spills). If the hoses are stuck try twisting them with pliers, or cut them and replace. 3- Remove the right lower sound insulator panel(below the glove box) and the lower Left kick panel, and the one below the steering column. 4- Remove the console and glove box. 5 - Disconnect the drain tube from the heater core. 6- Remove the floor air duct from below the heater case. A - Malibu and Cutlass(only) they need the AC refrigerant dispelled by a dealer or other qualified shop, dont disconnect the ac lines unless this was done!) B- These models also will need the instrument panel removed from the passenger area. 7- Remove the heater core cover (http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c242/xeroinfinity/auto%20odds-ends/corehousing.jpg), 9 screws. 8- Remove the heater core clamp (http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c242/xeroinfinity/auto%20odds-ends/heatercore.jpg)screw and clamp, then slide out the heater core. -- Reinstall in reverse order. * Make sure all the insulation and sealing materials are put back in place around the heater core.
