I've seen reference to the heater core replacement, which includes removal of the steering column for various models. It would appear to me that the brake pedal and the intermediate steering shaft are all that block the removal of the heater core in my 2004 caravan.....is that correct? Rather than removing the steering column, is it possible to unhook the lower intermediate steering shaft joint at the floor to achieve the room necessary to remove the core? Thank you for your help!

 

If you have adjustable pedals, they have to be removed because the motor gets in the way. Otherwise, intermediate shaft and brake lamp switch are all I remove. Take the tube clamps off and move the tubes out of the way and pull the core out.
