HELP cannot disconnect stupid heater hose

[jazarra]

Ive read through so many forums about the various types of quick disconnects, but haven't found anything for the i believe return hose from the heater core... ive been pinching the two white plastic tabs and pulling at the broken house but it wont budge!

Is corroded together. Blast it with dynamite.

Looks like you can Take a hack saw blade horizontal to it. Make a decent notch and crack it open.

If you snake a plastic tube in from the back spray some penetrant and let it work on the o-ring seal. That is the corrosion spot. After it sits for a while you can use your grips and try to spin the end and then pull off easily trying not to break the heater core spout.
