heater core replacement

[Lil Red Yarder]

Its time for me to replace my heater core. Somehow i got a crack in one of the tubes by my firewall. My book says i basically have to remove my entire dash to get to it. Is there an easier way. Its starting to dump rain here and I have to do all my work outside so taking that much time kinda makes me wanna wait till spring. I want to get this done tho before it starts to freeze. So is there an easier way of is it a weekend project? Anything that makes it a little faster would help immensely thanks

You have to start at the radio knobs and work your way down to the fire wall.

Post some pics if you decide to do it. I'm in the midst of trouble shooting a lack of heat in my '88 and I may have to do that at some point. ... It'll be my last option as I have no desire to do it outside as well. It hit -40C here last week.
