Thanks for the video, the locations of the hidden screws are great to point out. Take off that second cable from the inside housing, then remove the housing completely, use a wire brush and clean it out good, then rattle can paint the thing before re-assembly. in fact wire brush, prime and paint the inside firewall too. Same with the outer box, the best you can. Caulking tape is a good idea too, to prevent heat and fumes from the engine compartment coming in there. Lube those cables with WD40 and Lithium grease. While you're that far into the dashboard check the dashboard speaker, and other things. Might as well you have half the dashboard apart. If your heater core was leaking, take out the carpet and let the padding air dry in the sun or just replace it... it will begin to rust your floors...

Thanks, this helped us with a 1964 Buick Wildcat heater core replacement job. We could find no other You Tube information that was relevant. It was so difficult that we are going to do a video of how we got it done. We were able to get it done without removing the wheel - but there is one bolt that is hidden behind the hood hinge hardware. Look for our video coming soon.

Haha true, looks super similar to my olds it's really great when cars have similarities so you don't have to find a video of your exact model

Have a beautiful bright yellow 67 Impala I recently bought. It's been rebuilt NOT well but rebuilt non the less. Noticed a leak from under the heater core firewall area. I'll have to re do the things that weren't rebuilt. ie...there no parking brake cables , power steering pump is whining, horn, wiper pump and solution res is missing, etc....The interior is beautiful all black has 3spd man tranny, clutch chatters a little. Even with all the problems shes a head turner. I love her.. :{)

Nice job on the video. Great detail. I have a 65 Buick Skylark without AC. Looks very similar. I may give it a try. Cannot find any info on that make/model but this should help. Thanks

Great video!! Thanks for posting. Everything was the same for my 1965 Skylark (also no A/C) but I only had to unscrew the four bolts in the engine compartment that were easily in sight. No need to remove any hidden bolts or remove a tire. I would also suggest removing the glove box first.

You're welcome. I would've liked to have not removed the wheel, but the small differences between brands made it a hassle on my end. Happy it worked out for you.

2 people and a bunch of socket extensions will reach those hidden bolts. From inside the engine bay and over the wheel well there’s a straight shot tunnel.

Thank you! What a royal pain in the ass. Getting into this tomorrow on my ‘65 GTO while watching SuperBowl, looks like exactly the same setup as yours. Look up 60s Ford heater core removal and see how it should have been engineered (ie. 2mins re/re)

@@Skeeter66 1.5hrs and its out! Its just that one damn bolt up under the fender. I was able to finally get a socket on it by loosening two bolts on the outer fender and the few under the inner fender, and pulling them out a few inches. Now, can I find a replacement close by and get it back in before the Superbowl starts at 3? Lets see!
@@Skeeter66 Done! I kinda cheated though, its now a heater delete car ;) I never drive the car in winter or use the heater, so no sense paying for a new heater core. Just bypassed it by coupling the two hoses together. Pro Tip: Leave hard to reach bolt off so you can get in easier next time.

Shouldn't be too hard if it's like mine. Just remove the hoses, bolts off the shroud, and then the four bolts that hold the radiator.

Hi, since you're doing a '65 Impala and if you use this video, can you let us know by confirming if the removal is the same as the '66?
