How hard is to replace a Heater Core on 91 Escort 1.9?
I think the Heater Core is leaking, the car smells like monkey.

You will have to remove the instrument panel to access the heater case. In a shop 4.0-4.5 hours.

For this reason make sure it is the heater core leaking........are you adding coolant? Coolant has a sort of sweet/sick smell too it, tastes nasty too. (don't ask how I know!)

And check the carpet around the center/front, if you find it wet and slimey, you probably have a core leaking.
