open heater (martix) surgery

[dpoorsBenz]

I have got to change the heater matrix, on me car.

now i'm no fool when it comes to set of spanners and a ratchet,

i was just wondering, knowing that the dash has to come out, what sort of time frame i would be expecting to complete the job in.

i know where all the fitments are and have read the haynes manual to the extent where the ink's started to wear out

any idea's would be greatly appreciated

Never done it, but having seen the photos and figuring that you don't want to go at it like a bull in a china shop as you'll want it all to go back in again, plus undoubtably some of the fittings won't come out easily, some stuff will be more complex than the manual suggests etc I'd allow at least 1 day to strip it, 1/2 day for the heater and up to another day for rebuild. A long weekend job basically.
