i found if i just cut one end off the wires come out of the plastic tube crap easy. if your talking about the electrical tape on the wires it would be like a tv degausing cable.

i cut them with a box cutter since i have nothing but time now if you are short on time it would be better to just take wires in as insulated but i generally dont if i can help it. if its a 2003 does that mean its got a ali heater core just like the radiator and i thought brass was only on the older cars/trucks?

I am unsure about what your heater core is made from since I normally deal with older cars. But if you lost your title check with your state about how hard/expensive it would be to get a new one. If you still can't get/aquire one you pretty much gotta strip everything out of it, cut it in half and if i remember correctly your the guy with no car, so i would advise getting a kobolt wheel barrow and walking the pieces to the yard yourself. But be advised the back half is 800lbs give or take, and the front with no engine about the same. With engine roughly 1,500lbs to upwards of a ton. Ive moved cars like that before and believe me its anything but easy and you'll really be tested both mentally and physically. If you cant handle that find someone like me who will cut it up and haul it for you. You wont get anything for the steel if someone like me hauls it though. So your best bet still is to ask your state about the title before you touch any more pieces on that car. Texas charged me like $10 or $50 i think to get a brown boardered copy of the title I lost before I sold one of my trucks. If you do it that way you can still make money on the car not having to do anything more than call a number and possibly fill out some papers. If you strip it with out having the means to do so I can garuntee you that your gonna be sorry.
