Question 1

How to replace the Heater Core on Buick LaCrosse?

Accepted Answer

The replacement process starts by draining all coolant from the system. The task requires Hose Clamp Pliers (J 38185) to move the heater hose clamps at the heater core position before disconnecting the corresponding heater hoses. Begin the replacement by removing RH and LH instrument panels and then remove floor carpet and communication interface module. Lift the duct of the rear floor air outlet from the floor reinforcement holes and the heater core outlet cover before removing it. Proceed by removing the screws and heat stakes of the outlet cover with a small chisel after which you can disassemble the cover from the HVAC module assembly. End the procedure by removing the heater core along with its foam seal from the HVAC module assembly after taking out the screws and heat stakes with a small chisel. To start the installation process you should position a new heater core foam seal on the HVAC module assembly while also placing the heater core before using a 5.5 mm (7/32 in) drill bit to create dimples near the heat stakes in the heater core cover. Screw in the heater core cover along with its screws until they achieve 1.5 N.m (13 lb in) of torque. Perform installation and tightening procedures twice for both heater core outlet covers as well as their screws at a torque setting of 1.5 N.m (13 lb in). The installation of the heater core outlet cover on rear floor air outlet duct completes by mounting it into the floor reinforcement. The last step is to place back the floor carpet then reinsert the communication interface module before applying the RH instrument panel closeout/insulator panels. Attach the inlet and outlet heater hoses to the heater core and tighten the clamps using Hose Clamp Pliers (J 38185) before refilling the coolant.

Question 2

How to replace the heater core with RPO DO7 on Buick LeSabre?

Accepted Answer

The procedure to change the Heater Core into rpo do7 begins by emptying the cooling system fluid. Before commencing the Heater Core heater repair one must remove the sight shield through manual intervention while the spring hose clamp pliers (J 38185) must be employed for the removal of heater hose clamps and heating core hoses. Subsequently detach first the left and then the right side sound insulators followed by the auxiliary air distribution duct adapter. The right side screw of the air distributor duct does not need replacement as you take out the screws (1,2). Start by removing the air distributor duct before unfastening all heat shield screws from the core heater and the shield. After that detach the screws securing the Heater Core cover and remove it. First disconnect the retaining screw and strap attached to the Heater Core followed by its removal. Insert the new Heater Core into the hvac module through the attaching straps and screws which should be tightened to 1.4 n.m (12 lb in). First position the front dash seals correctly before tightening the Heater Core cover screws to 1.4 n.m (12 lb in). Following that install the Heater Core heat shield by tightening screws as per the specification of 1.4 n.m (12 lb in). The left screw should be installed through the air distributor duct at its proper tab positioning before tightening to the specified torque of 1.4 n.m (12 lb in). Continue by installing the auxiliary air distribution duct adapter and then proceed with the left and right side sound insulators. The spring hose clamp pliers (J 38185) should be used to reattach heater hoses and clamps before reinstalling the fuel injector sight shield. Finally, fill the cooling system.

Question 3

How to replace the Heater Core on Buick Regal?

Accepted Answer

Hose clamp pliers (J 38185) represent the required tool for Heater Core replacement. Start the repair process by taking off either the air cleaner assembly for 3.1l engines and the fuel injector sight shield for 3.8l engines and then disconnect the cross vehicle brace. The Heater Core requires positioning of the heater hose inlet and outlet clamps using hose clamp pliers (J 38185) before disconnecting the hoses while draining the coolant. To disconnect the Heater Core from its assembly at the rear area floor duct your first step should be positioning the Heater Core outlet cover downward and rearward before removing the lower floor console along with right and left instrument panel insulators. First remove all screws at both the Heater Core outlet cover then unscrew the screws from the Heater Core cover. Simply discard the seals (1,2) from the Heater Core cover followed by removing the caulk before discarding the outer seal from the Heater Core. Slide the screw out from the Heater Core line clamp and Heater Core retaining clamp as well as the Heater Core pipe retainer clamp before pulling out the Heater Core from the hvac lower case. The hvac lower case requires removal of its lower and center and upper and side seals together with the surrounding parts. Begin Heater Core installation by placing the hvac case with side seals, upper seal, center seal, lower seal and then installing the Heater Core. Fasten both the Heater Core line clamp and Heater Core mounting clip with screw while tightening them to 1.5 n.m (13 lb in). Install the outer seal to the Heater Core followed by new seals (1,2) to the Heater Core cover and apply caulk before securing it with screws at 1.5 n.m (13 lb in). Reinstall the Heater Core outlet cover with screws then tighten them to 1.5 n.m (13 lb in). After that complete installation of the lower floor console, right and left instrument panel insulators. To complete the Heater Core installation the technician must connect the inlet and outlet heater hoses using the hose clamp pliers (J 38185) and reposition the clamps before adding coolant to the system followed by reinstalling the cross vehicle brace with the air cleaner assembly for 3.1l engines or the fuel injector sight shield for 3.8l engines.
