removal of a heater core in a 1969 chevy pickup?

Question

Do you have to remove the inside fender well to get at the studs to remove the heater core housing on a 1969 chevy pickup 2wd??

Answer 1

Yes,cause their is one bolt you can't get to. I know I own one. What you can do is take a dremel tool and cut a small square (oblong) in the fender well to access the bolt . Then take a piece of tin larger than the hole and use sheet metal screws to secure the shield plate

Answer 2

Follow the outside of the housing unit. If it goes into the inside of the fenderwell you'll have to remove it. I'm doing the same thing with a 63 Buick. It's a severe pain..
