WMD - Saturday, 19 December 15 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

It was 27 degrees in Westminster on WMD morning. The group arrived promptly and we got some heaters going and the day went well.

The replacement of Charlie's heater core was completed with no issues. We removed the dash pad and all of the other interference listed in the Service Manual and the heater core pulled right out of the firewall.

It took us 12 hours to do the job. Removal of the dash pad is not difficult, there are just a lot of trim pieces to remove to get to the four screws that attach the dash pad.

Thanks to Nelson for his expertise on dash pad removal: "Just yank on it!"

The most important part of the job is to have a good "bag man" to put all the screws and bolts in labeled zip-lock bags. It makes reassembly much easier.

Thanks to Charlie for feeding all of us lunch. His pulled pork was excellent.
