87-740 broken interior heat control lever. How to fix? 700

The lever came loose. Has anyone had to do this repair. The big question is:
Do I need to pull the whole thing out,and if so, how.
I have a slim hope that I can somehow reattach the lever. But something way in the back of my mind tells me that a total replacement of the panel will be the solution. Id appreciate any advice.
I have the manual type of temp control panel.

Thanks

Larue

Not sure what you mean by "broken" or "came loose". If you're saying the lever moves freely and does nothing. Behind the glove box is the mixing door. The levers cable connects to it. To remove. Start on the right hand side of the trim. It just has tension clips, work your way to the ignition switch. Unit has a couple screws that hold it in place.

Thanks,
The cable is intact and working.

The lever in the passenger compartment is only a short one that connects,inside the dash, to the main lever that controls the cable . That connection is broken.

I think the bottom line is I need to remove the entire temp control assembly to, either replace it, or , if possible(which Im doubting) repair.
Has anyone done this?


I think the radio will have to come out. Then its probably just a matter of making sure all the cables and hoses are removed and put back in the righ places. This would be my main concern.
I really would appreciate any help offered.

Thanks

Larue
