I did mine a couple of weeks ago....it takes a while but it is not hard, it's just that you have to remove few things to be able to get acces to the heater core, I did mine in an evening on my 87 Town car....If you have the Haynes book, it will give a good idea....just take your time and it will go well.

How do you know it's a bad core? Is it leaking? If it isn't, the problem may be in a control system(water valve, etc). Replacing the core isn't too difficult. Usually they are in a plastic-covered box located directly behind the glove box and access is gained by removing the glove box and then removing the box cover.....all this is done from under the dash.

Water (clear) or coolant (green)? Has it rained lately?
