No.

To get to the heater core the entire dash needs to be removed. Great design huh?

Mine's been leaking slowly for about 2 years, I just keep coolant full. The coolant maybe drops an inch every 2 months or so.

Hang your Jeep from a sky hook and remove everything until your left with a heater core.

There is a video on YouTube where a guy cuts the frame of his dash. Three cuts, then cuts the heater core tubes and the heater core pulls right out.

I just back flushed mine. It took 24 hours but I finally got heat, good heat. Flushed it with CLR, vinegar, DI WATER.

I must be missing something. Doesn't the side of the HVAC housing need to be cut out to get at the heater core? Didn't see any reference to that in the video.

CLR! What an awesome idea. I have a buddy with a blocked core in his older Benz. Think we’ll give it a try.

I used Prestone Flush and Clean and reversed the heater hoses just above the cylinder head. One is not long enough to swap so I used a 5/8” brass hose coupler with about 2” of heater hose added to the line. It worked almost instantly and I drove it for 2 days this way for good measure.
