One of life's lessons I have yet to learn is to SLOW DOWN when tearing into a project.
The heater core started leaking so I ordered a new one and proceeded to take everything apart to install the new one. How tough can this be........
Well damn tough if you get in such a hurry that you fail to see one of the little screws hidden in the bottom recess of the cover near the firewall !!!
I thought it was just a sealent issue so after 20 minutes of prying and pulling on the cover it did come off....but I cracked it in about 8 places !!! (Not to mention ripping out a small segment around the little screw I failed to see.)
Fortunately I've had a good deal of experience with fiberglass work so three hours later its all patched up, sanded, painted and ready to install!
The moral of the story ...Missing even one screw can ruin your day....:beer:
