One other tip from a person who's taken his 240 dash apart for heater service, twice. If you have to go into the heater for _any_ reason, you may as well replace everything you can while you're inside, much as when you've got the front of the engine off. In your case, you're going to end up going in for the core, but be sure to do the fan motor, and think about getting one of the fancy modified ones with ball bearings if you plan on keeping the car for a while. There's almost no repair job I don't enjoy doing once just because I like getting a firsthand look at things, but the dashboard evisceration is just no fun at all the second time. Worse, it's so fiddly and involved that I was only able to cut about an hour off the job the second time around. A full day's work, and be sure to have a masseuse lined up for when you're finished.
