Sometimes you have to go back a few pages with the search feature but there is a huge amount of info on heater cores on this site. It's a lengthy job, but its really easy to do. Label all your wires and keep track (notepad or something) of everything that is disconnected and where. If you forget to reconnect a wire on the rebuild, you'll have major problems.
Attached is the condensed version of whats in the thread above. But the link above has lots and lots of pictures. There's also pictures of the job in my profile here.

Honest, take your time, do not drink beer and it will all work out. If its leaking and you are not ready to do it, just bypass it inside the engine compartment by looping the two heater hose lines together for now. Good luck

Im getting ready to change mine this weekend. Use the search feature on tool bar for help. Just search heater core, also I have a chilton repair book and it had some useful in it. You may want to pick one up if you don't already have one. Good luck.

its not as bad as it seems a little time consuming only p.i.t.a. i ran into was removing the black box that surrounds the core. manual that i had said remove bolts holding it to firewall from inside the passenger compartment but i had 3 or 4 that were run through from the engine side and were down behind the engine.
