Here is instructions and diagrams below to show you how to replace your heater core.

Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Drain and recycle the engine coolant.
Disconnect the coolant hoses at the heater core tubes.
Remove the glove compartment.
Position the Rear Anti-lock Brake System (RABS) module to the side.
From inside the passenger's compartment, remove the 7 screws that secure the heater core access cover to the plenum chamber.
Disconnect the vacuum source, but leave the vacuum harness connected to the cover and remove the cover.
Remove the heater core.To install:
Installation is the reverse of removal. Replace any damaged sealer.

If you have AC the system will need to be vacuumed down and recharged.
