Sorry to hear you're having problems with this.
In short YES you HAVE to remove the dashboard.

Please take many digital pics along the way and save the bolts that are alike in sandwich bags. Save all bolts in bags of some kind - having a camera will save you a lot of pulled out hair - seriously - use a camera if possible. Pros do until they know the procedure well.
I personally remove the passenger seat but most people don't - todays seats are easy so I pull them out.

Best of it

Testimonial: "right at the end i broke the retainer door. had to go to the wreckers and pull another dash. got part free of charge and put my car back together."

My 86 camaro's heat wont work, i have check the coolant level and the thermostate but still not heat
Have you checked the heater water valve for proper action? If it is in the off position, water won't flow thru the heater core. It may be cable actuated or vacuum actuated.

I need to replace the heater core in my 1986 Ford Bronco 2. Are there instructions on line on how to do this?
under the dash on the pass side there is a large black plastic box. take out the 6 screws and pull off the cover. there is a wire attached to the top that controls a flap, that just lifts off. under the hood loosen and remove the 2 host clamps right at the firewall area. Push the metal tubes in to the firewall. Then reach back in from under the dash and pull out the old core. put the new one in reverse order.

Replacment of heater core on 01 chevy S-10
Have replaced my heater core in my 2001 regular cab 4wd in december 2009. Had to pull the complete dash including the complete metal dash behind the dash that you see. Also had to remove the right passenger side inner fender well to acess the remaining two bolts that hold the heater core cover to the firewall. Its an insane job to do but the repair shop books call for 9 1/2 hrs to do the job. I'm not an expert but this is what it takes.

Heater core needs to be changed
when your heater core goes bad, generally it leaks inside the car and can leave a odor of antifreeze. It can effect colling of the engine...so I would change it.

It is behind the dash..but not a huge deal..take your time some saturday afternoon & youll have it
