How many screws hold on the heater core cover in an 88? My manual says 7. I can only find 6 and I got the really hard one in the back out. But it still won’t drop down. I’m scared to pull on it too hard and break it.

I got the one up in the hole and the real hard one in the back left near the transmission hump. I’ve only found 6. My manual says 7, but every article I find on the internet says 6. Do you know how many yours has? I’ve done this multiple times in the past but it’s been 20 plus years ago. I only remember the really hard one.There is one up in a hole on the right side. Once you have the screws out it will come loose but you will have to fight it a bit to get it to clear the heater core and lines.
So the 7th doesn’t have to come out to get the cover off?I think the 7th screw is the one holding the heater core in with the tiny metal bracket. Last time I did mine the cover didnt want to come off either.

I found a video on it and you are correct. I think mine must be hanging up where it fits over the pipes.Yes, I think the 7th is inside/under the cover.
