Heater Hose Blew Out

[Doubeleive]

Hey Joe, what were those tools that turned out to be useless? Posting up their part numbers and names would be helpful too for folks in the future.

I never got any of those tools to work on them, there is a trick to it though you have to compress the clips and then yank really hard at the same time. the dealer jXXXX tool might work better but you will still have to yank hard.

You need to push the hose inward a bit, like if you were putting it on, before pressing the tabs in and pulling it off.

I keep a tube of K-Y in the top drawer of my tool box just for use on o-rings.

The water based lube won't harm or cause the rubber to deteriorate/break down like other lubes.

My wife just thinks I'm cheating on her.....lol

Sorry, I didnt see there were multiple pages. Did not mean to step on toes or repeat anything. Wasn't till i saw your reponse that i saw 6 pages. Thought i read them all. Where is the post # located on the page or do you have physically count?

If you’re on your phone, turn it sideways..... a lot more things pop up too.... like signatures etc

Very good point, James.

I will try to post photos in another post below, as I cannot get this Forum's photo post tool to work correctly in this post. One tool is a standalone hinged metal ring (though I saw the same ring in plastic by other suppliers) sold by Lisle, and the other is a set of plastic tools with an angled holders sold by Carlyle Tools (though I saw the same set sold by Lisle and other suppliers).

I yanked as hard as I dared, but after reading that damaging the front heater core requires 8-10 hours of work and a dashboard removal to access/repair/replace, I decided not to yank real hard.

DUDE. I just went through this 2 weeks ago when I did my intake gaskets. I also spent good money on those ******* things at Pep Boys and they were WORTHELSS trying to disconnect my fuel line off the rail. All they did was **** up the clip inside it. SO pissed.

It’s ok. I was just messin, I figured you hadn’t got to the end of the thread get. Post #’s are at the right of the black bar at the top of every post, across from where the date and time of the post is.

Cool! Im not on here that often, been trying to follow more often though. I can see the date and time stamps but not post numbers. Im following on a phone not a pc, does that make a difference?
