F150 heater core replacement


There is no easy way, you have to remove the whole dash-facia and then remove the whole HVac Unit (aircon-heater thingy) and then pull out the damaged bit and replace it.

No difficult, but a time consuming job with a high probablility of breaking plastic bits during removal and replacement. I would not attempt it without a WS manual.

Once you have replaced it, Just fill the cooling system from the hightest point (on my landy, that is the thermostat housing) and keep topping it up every half hour or so. Also works better if you can park it facing uphill as this helps bleed the system.

Eventually when you think it is pretty full, leave the top up point open and fire her up, run the heater on full as this helps to bleed the system, then just squash the cooling pipes to try and dislodge any airlocks and top up if neccessary.

Then replace plugs and go for a short drive and when the system has cooled sufficiently, check the expansion tank and top up if required. Check it every morning for the next week, and by then you should have no air in the system.
