Joe,

To replace the heater core, you really do not need to pull the firewall side of the heater box. You only need to take the bolts off the firewall side. If you want to pull the firewall side, try adding heat to the sealed edges with a heat gun. Be careful not to overheat. As for removing the cable clips on the inside, try loosening the clip with a small flat screwdriver. Then use a small pair of needle nose wrapped in cloth to lift the clip.
