I did a search, and nothing came up. Maybe I just missed it.
I'm still refurbishing all the parts in preparation to reassemble the 2000 V6 I am converting into a 2004 GT. Today I worked on the complete ac/heater box assembly because I am going to replace the heater core and ac evaporator core so I don't have to go back in there for a very long time.
I got the heater core out, but the evaporator is sealed in the housing, no bolts or screws to open it up. Haynes manual says the entire assembly must be replaced and my factory Ford manual hints at the same thing. However, all the auto parts stores and even Rock Auto, only carry the core itself. My guess is that you have to cut the housing open to slide the evaporator out and then reglue the box.
I looked for a YouTube and found one for a 1989, but not the 1999-04 version. Do any of you have the way to do this job, and if so, where do you cut ?
Thanks,
Don
