GU Patrol heater box removal

Not having had to remove an evaporator, I can't say with any certainty, but you could try removing the glovebox (pretty easy to do:)), and see if that will allow enough access...
the thing is pretty much right there (behind the glovebox;-))

takethe glove box out , disconnect wiring from fan motor , take out fan motor and housing, take out evap core( .making sure that ther is no gas in system. disconnect from engine side the heater hoses and a/c hoses .care tken when removing hoses from tx block)

thanks for the replies.
looking at the pic of behind the dash. I only have to remove the A/C assembly, not the heater box.
i might give it ago next weekend

I removed the whole dash from my Patrol to replace the evaporator. Not very hard to do just take photos if you think you need to but some things wont go where they're not supposed to go.

While it was out I took the chance to clean all the dust from air ducts and fan, Pretty much a phillips head screw driver and a 10mm socket is all you will need.

Hope this helps, and have fun

Cheers Luke who pulled it out twice cos the new O rings I was given were slightly smaller in thickness and leaked :(

A local auto elect welded mine while it was in place to repair a leak, that was 2 years ago and stil going strong. Might be worth checking this as an option before removing the the thing.
Can't remember the cost but i am sure it was a shyte-load cheaper than replacing the evap.

thanks for that, i will check that out and see if somebody can weld it.
just got a quote for the evaporator.......
Nissan want $1000 for the evap and tx valve
after market $450

i will see if they can weld it before i remove it

Nissan want $290, repco want $140. no supprise which one i ordered
