Is there an easier way to take the heater hose out? i'm not too familiar with the hoses. the hose goes from the engine to a metal tube then to the heater core. the metal tube is mounted in an unaccessable place next to the engine... any tips?

 

dose it have the metal things that go aroun the whole hose with no way to loosen it? thats what mine had when i had to replace them and only way to get them off is to cut them with some snips or hack saw blade if thats what you have. but if u have somthin diff. like a clamp on them then just loosen the clamp and twist the hose back and forth side to side with some outward forse and the should come off

 

yea it was all metal. i decided to just cut it out and i'm waiting for the part to come in. thanks!

 

no problem. glad i could help
