Here is an honest answer, this is not a job for someone who is not 'mechanically inclined'. It is very difficult to do, very difficult to reach and it has a lot of components that will need to be disassembled to even get it out. best thing to do is bypass it (it's warmer weather now) by taking the hoses off the core as they enter the firewall, and joining them with some kind of pipe/adapter. You will not have heat (for now) and you can figure out a way to get it replaced in the next 6 months and still drive it without antifreeze on your passenger side floor. I have been working on cars for over 25 years, some of the most brutal jobs I have ever done were heater cores, trust me.
