How is that valve removed from under the cowling. My plan is to pull the gas tank for better access first; then replace the driver side heat/defrost valve. The re-install the control cables.
Any tips will be appreciated… ( see sample photo, not my car ) Attached image(s) |

In re-installing mine, I ground a chamfer on the front bottom of the mixer valve & was able to install with the defrost duct attached. Also remove the little brace next to the mixer & push up on the cowl with a helper.

I am pulling the fuel tank to gain access and leaving the fresh air into as ke box in place |
