They are a PITA. Part is cheap, labor will kill you if you take it to a shop (about a days work).

Hope you can do the work yourself. Familiarize yourself with the procedure before digging in.

Never heard of it being possible without removing the dash. You need to access a factory service manual for specifics.

cant do it without removing the dash ... in order to change the heater core you have to pull out the housing box and that cetainly wont come out of the glove box
