I was wondering if some one can give me some step by steps to change a heater core? or how much does it cost to get it fix?

^ +2 those instructions worked for me except it took a little longer. My first and hopefully only time!

I did mine about 5 years ago. Definitely a pain in the ass. In fact it turned into a total pain in the ass. I got the core in and put the dash and interior back together then went to the engine compartment to finish up. As I was pushing the last hose onto the heater core the tube broke where it was soldered to the core. I then lost control and killed everyone within a 1 mile radius. No not really, but I did go another 6 months without heat.
