The method includes removing the heater core in a direction of extraction, the direction of extraction being orthogonal to the direction of insertion.
Claims8
A method for removing a heater core installed in a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) assembly for a motor vehicle comprising the heater core and a casing with walls defining an internal volume of the HVAC, the method comprising:
- removing a sealing attachment from an interfacing connection interfacing with the heater core;
- sliding the heater core in a direction of insertion;
- disconnecting, from the heater core, the interfacing connection;
- unlocking a supporting cover by sliding a locking element in a direction orthogonal to a direction of extraction;
- detaching the supporting cover from the HVAC assembly in the direction of extraction;
- and
- removing the heater core in the direction of extraction,
- wherein the direction of extraction is orthogonal to the direction of insertion.
