RHD TJ Heater Core

[Jonny Jeep]

I still have a note on my phone from when I did my heater core. I got it via a workmates son in law who worked at a local dealership at the time. It cost me £282 including VAT (sales tax). Not sure what discount that was at if any, but it was in 2017. It may have came from the central european parts warehouse as there was a few days delay before it got to the dealership.

I don't know what the quality of these are like, but they ship worldwide and you'd have to contact them for a shipping quote...

I pulled the lot out - seemed to me to be just as much work to disconnect everything whether you take it right out or not so I preferred to have it all out of the way.
Also removed doors, bonnet, centre console and drivers seat for a bit more room to work.
I found the job simple but time consuming - just need to be methodical.
I kept every clip, screw, fastener in separate small plastic bags and kept them in strict order. Re-assembly was very easy - just used all the clips/screws in reverse order.
I also tagged all electrical connections but it was unnecessary as it was very obvious where they had to be plugged in during re-assembly.
What really slowed me down was all the aftermarket wiring for accessories I had added over the years.
Here are some progress pics...

Thanks Wes.

I’m good at doing most things to my TJ, but just/not confident about removing steering wheel - because of airbag and clockspring ect... is there anything you could let me know about steering wheel removal?

I left the steering wheel attached to the column and removed it as one piece - if you do that, avoid turning the steering wheel once it is off as excessive turns in either direction will stuff the clockspring.
An extra long 13mm socket will save your sanity if you plan on removing the steering column
