To whom are you referring? Did you have another thread posted on this board that went unanswered?

Check out this video:

Considering the time involved in this procedure I would not hesitate to replace the heater core at the same time.

Thanks again alloro !In case u didnt know the last part of user name(oro) in spanish is gold! Thats what u have been for me just golden!Oh forgot to get your opinion on my a/c. So if I go to fix compressor bearing on my own, how easy is it and do u think I should replace all o-ring? Reason I ask is the rock auto has like a complete kit that gives u compressor,o-rings,expansion valve,receiver dryer etc.. just think a push to buy stuff u dont really need what ur thought.

Rebuilding a compressor is kind of getting up there into the specialty area, even I wouldn't attempt it. At this point you're better off finding a compressor without the clutch assembly on it (for less $) and swapping your new clutch onto it. Install the compressor, evacuate and fill the system, and then call it a day.

BTW, alloro is all-or-o(nothing), but I do like the gold angle as well!

You can also fix the blend door through the back of the glove box with Heater Treater. I don't have experience doing it either way, just throwing the option out there.
