Explorer Heater Core

Does anybody have a way to replace the heater core on a 2005 Explorer without removing half of the front interior? I have everything but the dash itself pulled out including a bazziling screws that I hope I remember where they go. Or is there a link that somebody has that I can review?


Thanks.

Nope, unfortunately, the dash has to be unbolted and tilted back to gain access to the heater core. Very few cars these days have an easy heater core to remove...
