Hello, I read your post today about using a spark plug to screw into the top of the heater core valve. You saved my day with this wonderful advice and I want to thank you ever so much! Cheers, Bill

Just an update for the heater levers ....... ;)
I have refurbished my heater core  and needed to dismantle the levers for an easier acces...   a second time after 2019! :-[
But since i have bought a  very useful tool  : it's a little ratchet wrench or spanner ( i don't know the specific name of it ) whose handle turns on itself and screw or unscrew . This wrench associated with a flexible extender ( not too long) allow screwing the left nut of the heaterlevers device on the dash :
