2WD, 4.0L, Ranger w/AC. I smell coolant with the vent on, so I know that the heater core is bad. My Chiltons manual tells me to pull the core from the engine side. AC hoses and evaporator are definetly in the way, I don't want to break the AC system. I dropped glove box, looks like the whole dash has to come out. Somebody help me. Tell me I'm wrong.
How big a headache is this going to be. Any advise would be helpful.
