a big job and difficult. even two experienced mechanics with proper tools this job will take a full day maybe longer to do it right.
there is risk of never getting this back together correct and a mistake can cause more damage so if doing the core replacement keep this in mind
on the 97 and 98 e vans theres a defective blend door that fails.
if the core itself is not leaking your in luck. the core cover. once removed has the door behind core .what you do is drill a small hole in center of blend door, and one in the dash then use a coat hanger to move up and down to open and close door manually. see notabs.org/pictures/
FordBlendDoor.
a way around removing the entire heater core ! 700 to 1500 bucks?
im going to save the money and rig up the manual wire trick for zero dollars. just about 10hours of labor and patience. even this job isnt easy. you will have to do it yourself cause most mechs wont mess with it .
