So i'm trying to rip apart my interior and get my heater core out. And it's not going well. So if you've done this heater core project please AIM me at Raziel215. I'm having trouble getting the glove compartment and and dash out. Also if you have a service manual and you could scan the directions, that'd rock. My Hilton's service manual is less then helpful on this project. Thanks.

The glove compartment is relatively easy to remove. There are two screws on the bottom of it, and then you open it, and there are two more screws, and then once those are out, it should pull out, and then you'll need to disconnect a harness for the light, and then the whole glovebox should come out.

Got the glove compartment out, and center dash. But I can'tget the heater controls out. I swear its impossible. I may end up just pack it up and taking it to the Toyota dealer. Anyone one know how to get those heater controls out?

Good times! I ended up taking it to the dealer and it ran me about $800 bucks. Now I have to wait even longer for that Greddy SP exhaust.........

The A/C controls aren't too bad to take out. If you reach around to where the ECU is on the drivers side, one of the wires that keep it from coming out is attached there and easy to take off. That should give you enough play to see how to remove the other wire. Hope this helps. It's one of those things like the passenger air vent that are hard as heck untill you've done it a couple times, then it's simple.
