You must have looked at the 960 heater core instruction.
I would rather replace the 940 heater core than the front struts.
Scary to think about it but once you get over the fear of the unknown, not that bad. Easier than the AC evaporator. I used screwdrivers to gently pry apart the cover from the base. At worse, allow an easy two days to get over the frustrations, cramps and re-energize your drive. You will know the screw that is impossible to replace and mock it.
A super air tight seal is not required unlike the evaporator seal which could leak water. Even a crack in the cover is not a show stopper. A heater core cover would only leak a little warm air, only when the heater is on, although I did add a little butyl sealant here and there. You will have to cut pick and destroy the gasket you see at the firewall when its time to pull out the heater core. I resealed with RTV but a little foam sealant may have worked better.

THIS IS JUST WRONG, stop and rest, restart, kind of what you do during a fuel pump removal.
