hey man...i was having the same problem a few weeks ago....i used the fat-end of a butterknife and ran it all the way through the track, that will open up and of the track that may have been sqeezed together causing and tight spots. also make sure it has grease in the track to make it a little bit easier to slide.

Oh yeah - I've done it twice on my Tracer Wagon. First time core was old, second was a freak failure at six months - or it may have been, I did it putting hoses on. Anyhow... you've got to drop steering column remove instrument cluster, heater/a/c controls... and remove ENTIRE DASH PANEL, and then yank out the blower to get to the core, which is right up against the firewall. When you've got it all out, you're looking at back side of firewall from one side of the car to the other. The book says 5 hours, I think; I spent three days the first time, about half a day the 2nd time. It's a bitch, but doable. I think I could prob do it in four hours, now. The part is cheap; more if you buy factory. TIP: smear some silicone sealer around where the two pipes go into the core; that way, if you're a little rough putting the hoses on, it won't ruin it.

#418 of 432 very happy! by meech1

Mar 29, 2008 (3:47 pm)

I just bought a 93 escort wagon LS, 5 speed with 62000 miles for 1000 bucks... half the miles are towing miles, it was towed behind an RV. I love the gas mileage even though i"ve only had it a week... I previously owned a 94 escort hatchback that finally blew up with 185000 miles on it. If i had had a brain then i wouldv'e replaced the engine.. i'm happy to have a "second chance" and really thrilled to find this support group!

Car is a 1995 Ford Escort LX 5-speed manual.Got this car from my mother with 182000 miles on it. Now I am still using it wishing I had a new car and considering the resale value. Car is currently reliable and engine seems to be running good (at least for now). Car currently has 189100 miles on it.
 
Going down the list of what I paid on it... at least during the time I own the car (spread costs among 5 year span)
 
-timing belt + water pump = $560
-muffler = $500
-back right spring $800
-brakes = $500
-brakes = $300
 
I am looking at some used cars and looking to sell it sometime... Tight on money and going to college.
