The dreaded heater valve!

Dreaded because of the effort required to access it for removal. Some claim the ability to wrest it free through the left speaker cover, but I've only done it from the bottom, by removing the heater core with the valve attached. I have the SAS catalog here which states 79.00 as a replacement cost. My experience is that draining the coolant (just enough so the hoses don't leak - about 2 gallons - when you detach them from the valve ports) is the easy part. I'd plan on three to four hours time for a beginner.
