I decided to put all the steps in order.  Most of them tell me to refer to another step first so I kept adding those to the list until I had them all.

  1. Just curious:

    Why Remove Windshield Wipers 1-4-269?

    1. Many assemblies are under other assemblies that have to be removed first. In this case, the vent panels just in front of the firewall. Those have to come out to gain access to the nuts that hold the HVAC to the firewall from the engine compartment.

  2. Oh, I see.

    I had assumed that all this work was done INSIDE the vehicle.

    1. Most of it is inside. I need to disconnect the lines that pass through the firewall for both the heater core and evaporator core then get the three nuts for the HVAC module exposed from the engine compartment.

      The rest is inside the car.

      Nothing is particularly hard, but it's a pain to peel back the layers one by one.
