How to remove a heater core from a 1995 Civic

[@lares1148]

Not us still watching this in 2022. People like you saved life’s lmfao

[@jbentley-xt8oi]

This video is GREAT............. If you took the engine out which people don't have the time or money to do. I'm currently in the middle of replacing my heater core on my 92 Civic. The best way to do this is to take everything out the dash first...Radio, heater controls, plastic panels, steering wheel(BE CAREFUL not to mess with the clock spring..keep it in same position!!), evaporator, blower motor and disconnect connections......you DO NOT have to take out the fuse box BTW. After that, take the hoses off the heater core(in the engine compartment)....Its much easier to do this from BELOW the car...not from up top because the engine will be in the way(unlike this video). Taking the hoses off will take some time...the dumb clamps will slip from your grip many times...but you'll get it! YES...this is a BIG JOB....but not bigger than a Head Gasket job(which I did last year). Just be patient and you'll do fine... P.S: Be sure to download a Honda manual and follow the directions for taking out each part in the dash....You don't want to forget a connector and start pulling a part out with all your might......then you'll need to fix something else.

Thanks for the input.

[@orange.juice.]

Head gaskets on these take an hour max, not counting the time to have it resurfaced. This is probably the most time consuming job on this car.

[@debfrazin1344]

That is a BIG job. I don't think I'd trust anyone but a certified Honda dealer to do that job for me. I know it's way more expensive, but this video is really freaking me out!

[@leviwooten3795]

I did one on a 4runner just take very detailed pictures

As someone who works at a dealer , it’s not always what you think it is with a dealership.

[@zenaslloyd5074]

This helped me take out a heater core from a 94 civic dx. It had a huge mouse nest in it and the evaporator. Time to lysol and shop vac everything now. Thanks a lot

You probably dont give a shit but if you're bored like me atm you can stream pretty much all of the new series on Instaflixxer. I've been watching with my brother for the last couple of months :)

[@bobbyuriel5171]

@Jamal Emmett Definitely, I have been using Instaflixxer for years myself :D

[@spadecheck8874]

Damn! I have to do mines today but too much 😅

[@Curi0u50ne]

A lot of you don’t need to do a complete removal but only need to flush the hoses so you might not have much work to do(I hope) cos mines blowing cold/warm air n not Hot. I’ll come back and let peeps know the outcome of my intended flush...

[@whyisthisnottyping]

How did the flush worked?

[@nickemery41]

Bless your soul lol I was wondering why the fuck my heater core wasn't coming out turns out it's the FUCKING BOLT ON THE FIRE WALL

[@onefaller]

I did the heater core on a 84 Ford LTD2, and it took 8 hours - pull the dash, pull the dash support, just keep removing things. It was awful.

[@Mikedirt17]

Hello, good morning, excellent video, I just have to replace the radiator, is there a way to remove it without having to disassemble all that?

[@JusstyteN]

i took apart all dash and stuff but im stuck at taking the bolt on the engine compartment... shit... i hope i can get it off. its really stubborn

[@johnnycincocero]

Would a 2000 civic have the same level of difficulty?

[@tubejim101]

Almost the same.

[@johnnycincocero]

tubejim101 Thanks for posting video.

[@edkiggans1626]

I'm sorry about the cuss word. Plus I sliced my index finger removing the dashboard.

[@tubejim101]

Heater cores are not fun.

[@edkiggans1626]

@@tubejim101 u got that right!

[@King-qv1pd]

For removing the heater core hoses there is a tool you can use my dad had one it looks like a screwdriver with a needle tip with a 90 degree bend in it to help remove old hoses from the heater core outlet tubes but if they are very old with cracks and such you might as well just cut off them off and replace them. I used that tool a lot but never as a mechanic. Just side jobs. If you have one or find one be very careful not too rip or tear the hose. Put the tip of the long needle in and point it down at a somewhat sharp angle so when you go around the hose it will less likely to hurt the hose or your pocket book. If you don't you will destroy that hose like it was a m80 in a super thin mailbox. Jajajajaja 😂

[@jakeward5664]

does that dash compare to a 94 accord..? I need to do mine

[@tubejim101]

Only have worked on 90 to 93 Accords. Sorry. Maybe someone here knows.

[@edwardllera7867]

Same process, almost to a T

[@thytran4120]

Why did you take it off in the first place? Was it damaged

[@tubejim101]

I explain that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKOrkoaCaMtjrLc

[@linglingjr]

"Hondas are so easy to work on" needs to remove entire dash to get to heater core. I can get one out on a fifty year old American car in less than 20 minutes. That's with stubborn rusted on bolts.

[@tubejim101]

+linglingjr The heater cores are a pain on the Hondas. But they make up for it in other areas. Fuel filters are much easier, and you don't have to climb under the car :) People often talk me into working on their cars. The whole time, I'm think, "this is such an easy job on my Honda". But every car has that job that you do not want to do.

[@aspireeripsa]

How fast can u drop a v8 out with out a engine hoist and can u and a buddy pick the motor up and move it around ?

[@linglingjr]

insane_ivtec I can pull an engine with trans and put it on an engine stand, by myself, in less than an hour. Saying you can pull yours without a cherry picker doesn't mean it's "easier to work on" I really don't see your point.

[@aspireeripsa]

+linglingjr still Honda motor out in about 30 mins and another one in 40 mins later with one guy if you know what ur doing

[@aspireeripsa]

+linglingjr and to to if u didint have a picker ur almost outta luck to take a v8 out where a Honda it don't really matter it can still be a easy fast job

[@artramirez1985]

P.i.t.a..my eg hatch needs that done.any body?

[@shionnsr8684]

can u run a/c after taking that heater box out?

[@tubejim101]

Short answer is, yes. I would not take the heater box out. Thinking you mean the heater core.

[@shionnsr8684]

tubejim101 i dont need the heater i live in the caribbean..so i have to keeping the heater box in to run the ac?

[@shionnsr8684]

tubejim101 rhd 97 integra sirG. i want to delete the heater/heatercore to delet the core piping n free up space in my engine bay. i try to figure out what to do with plastic catch can factory thing left of the 2 core piping that sticks out from the firewall.

[@tubejim101]

The catch can, sounds like your evap system, but not sure. I would leave the heater core in the dash. Just remove the heater core hoses, and cap the ends of the heater core. Your going to have to figure out what to do with those coolant lines. To remove the heater core, you would have to remove your dash.

[@elagamingrayz4685]

will this fix my ac and heater?

[@tubejim101]

Raymone Dashiell this is only for, if you heater core is leaking.

[@Pistonstrokes]

why do you keep saying "i dont know if this is a player"? I dont get it

[@tubejim101]

Player is slang for a part or thing, being involved in a process.

[@Pistonstrokes]

tubejim101 so where are you from? ive never heard this slang thanks
