How to Clean Heater Core? - 93 Civic

    Hi folks,
    Some kind of critter got into the heater ducts on my 93 Del Sol
    (same as 93 Civic) and was making a nest. I vacuumed out what
    seemed like all of the stuff through the grills, but there is a
    nasty smell when the heater core is hot, so there must be some
    material in there.

    What is involved with cleaning out the fan and heater core?
    Is this a DIY job?

    Thanks,
    Dan

    On early CR-V and Odyssey, you can unplug the fan motor, remove three
    screws, and the fan falls out in your hand. You can then look up inside,
    reach inside, and use a combination of brushes and compressed air /
    vacuum to clean out lots of stuff. __Not sure how similar DelSol will be.__

    A high volume air compressor might be invaluable . . . Just don't crush
    the fins of the core with anything.
