It's all back together!  Then I pulled the door pannel off the passenger side to replace the door handle.  This isn't going much faster than the heater core.   

Good job, Zen....

You can have my job if you want it.... 

There was time in my life that I wanted to be a mechanic. I even spent a year at Walker Tech and graduated on the Director's List.  They said I was the first student to graduate the auto mechanic's program with a 4.0.  The biggest thing I learned is that while I could do just about any job thrown at me and usually did excellent work, I was WAY TOO SLOW to make a living at it.

I've been told this Heater Core job is an 8 hour job.  I spent 8 hours trying to figure out where the last 3 wires plugged in.  I wasn't working on it solid, and I spent about half of the time I was "working" on it at the computer looking at the manual or doing "research" on the internet, and there were a couple of days I didn't touch it at all and a couple of days the rain really limited what I could do to it, but still . . . it took me 12 days to do an 8 hour job.  Since I had the time off and probably wouldn't have done anything else productive, it was still worthwhile for me, but the bottom line is, I like to eat.  I wouldn't be buying many groceries on what I could earn as a mechanic!
