Remove six nuts from heater assembly.

Anyone with experience of this remove/replace please offer help.
Reason for change is previous owner capped off core so I suspect it leaks. I asked him and he said "no" but he lied about other things so I don't trust him.

I hope others with more knowledge will contribute to this thread, there at least a couple of others I recall that address this topic. My personal experience with a 66 GTO was the outboard nut (above the inner fender skirt) could not be reached with any combination of socket extension/body contortion that I came up with. Rather than cut a whole I chose to remove the fender completely. Others have reported they were successful without doing either the hole or fender removal.
Good Luck.
