Decided to pull the cover plate off the heater box . Completely full of leaves and nut shells. 2nd one I have pulled that way. I decided to change heater core now instead of when it decides to leak. The new core tubes were about 1/2 inch wider that old so had to grind out the cover plate. Typical for repo parts. The 2 nuts holding the heater box to fire wall under the dash was a bear to get to.
