Very difficult. You have to remove the dash and the plenum assembly. It will
take an experienced mechanic 5 to 8 hours to do the job. It will involve
discharging the A/C, removing the dash, removing the plenum, replacing the
heater core, reinstalling the plenum and dash and recharging the AC. The
actual heater core itself is only about $100 dollars, but figure on paying
someone around $700 to $1100 to have the heater core replaced (be sure to
ask for new heater hoses, and quick connect o-rings and new antifreeze as
well).
