How to un-bolt and remove heater core 1974 260Z 2+2

Hello everyone,

 

I'm currently at the stage where I need to remove, test and re-condition my heater core, but am not sure on how to go about it.

 

 

Currently, (If you follow my journal) my dash is off, and I beleive the heater core is somewhere close to the drivers side (judging from the hosing pipes).

 

 

I have a haynes manual, but I'm not sure about which part to bolt-off to take to the radiator/heater specialist (I will be installing a new radiator, and hell I don't want all the 10year old, preserved heater core liquor flowing and having sex with the fresh coolant from the radiator)

 

 

 

 

Thanx a million guys, I may have to owe you all (yet again... )

If you look in the engine bay of your car, from the front, on the right hand side of the brake master cyclinder, just down a little bit there are 2 pipes. These are the inlet/outlet to the heater core.

 

The heater core is actually pretty easy to remove from the dash. I took pictures of every part of my car that I figured I needed to remember where bolts went and I didn't take one of the heater core, so I'm assuming that means it stupidly easy.

 

The heater core itself and the 2 hoses are all that should need replacing, the rest is just air ducting around the dash. The heater core actually comes out separately and those screws that I photographed are all that need removing. Ignore the disconnecting of the flap cables YOU DON'T NEED TO DISCONNECT THEM. I did cause I'm a fool!

 

I put all the photos I could find that seem relevant on my photobucket for you:
