SOURCE: Remove the radio from 1997 Toyota Corolla
i have a 97 corolla as well, and i've changed the radio out several times on my own. if you take a small screwdriver and stick it in between the panel that goes around the around the area where the radio is, u should be able to pry it off relatively easy. just be sure to remove the sliders off the AC controls before you do. after you pop that panel off, you just have to disconnect the wiring harnesses going to the clock, hazard lights, rear defroster, and AC button. the radio is bolted in there with a mounting bracket, so you'll have to unscrew that as well. you'll need to unscrew that bracket from the radio you have in there, and mount it to the one you wanna install....hopefully this helps you out. it sounds harder than it really is.

The heater is located under the dash board to the right and down from the radio. To remove and replace it you will have to remove the dash board down to the fire wall. Also, you will have to disconnect two hoses that connect up to it from the engine compartment. These are located in the back of the engine and down on the firewall about midway. Once you remove the dash board and locate the heater core you will be able to see the location of these two hoses. Removing the heater core is time consuming but it will save you about 700 dollars.

there are alot of hidden screws holding the dash in. there are some up across the top of the dash by the windshield and defrost vents. also when you open the doors there are some in there. it is quit a difficult job I really dont recomend doing it yourself but if your not afraid to try and feel confident enough to tackle it good luck. it would be best to have an experienced mechanic do the job but it will cost over three hundred for labor. if you do it yourself go to a parts store that sells haynes repair manuals they cost about twelve dollars and are pretty helpfull.
Testimonial: "Thanks for the advice, I will find a manual and if gives some form of help I will do it myself. If not I will pay for it to be done. Thanks."

Sounds like you have air trapped in the heater core when you flushed the heater core. loosen the upper most heater core hose and run the engine untill coolant seeps out. Wait until the coolant has reached running temperature.

The heater core is a small heat exchanger located inside the
truck, similar to the radiator at the front of the truck. Coolant is
circulated from the engine through the heater core and back to the
engine. The heater fan blows fresh, outside air through the heater core;
the air is heated and sent on to the interior of the truck. For Toyota Pick-ups/Land Cruiser/4Runner 1989-1996 check this reference repair guide...

Have alot of towels handy for the leakage of coolant that may spill into your interior.
CAUTION
When draining engine coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are
attracted to ethylene glycol antifreeze and could drink any that is left
in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove
fatal in sufficient quantity. Always drain coolant into a sealable
container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or is
several years old.

Wow that wasn't any help at all. My corolla is the DC. I seen a video on how to on a 96 carry which didn't require dash removal.
Sorry...it's DX model. My inside looks exactly like the carry. I'm thinking I can get to it on the passenger. In the camry there is an access hatch on the drivers side in front of the center console behind the carpet. It was a very simple job. Hope mine is as easy.
