Getting the Wheeling Fever

After the most recent freeze i discovered a small coolant leak right at the fire wall where the hose connects to the heater core and there is a faint smell of coolant when i turn on the heater.
Does anyone have any advice or instructions on getting the old heater out? (it looks like it's a real bugger to get to!)
Thanks
