Removing the heater hose connector is simple with the right tool. Installing the new disconnect does not require the tool. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
You can remove the broken connectors and just put the rubber hose back on the aluminum outlet and use a screw clamp and not use that gm pos connector and it will not leak nor come off. Make sure you get the hose and clamp past the step on the aluminum tube. Done tons of them.
What do you use for the “T”? I’m guessing a brass barb T would work best but would it fit?
This works only on non-rear heat vehicles.
@@parkermaraventano3590 why?
The hard part is getting this piece of shit Quick connect off
@@therideszz because rear heat vehicles have a T-connector where as pick up trucks have a straight connection
IF YOU DONT HAVE TIME OR MONEY TO BUY THE TOOL: cut an old credit card in half hotdog style. put 1/4 in. cuts at a 1/4 in. apart all the way down the spine of the card. proceed to flex the card into a tube shape. the cuts allow the card to bend easier. then put the card behind the connector into the space between the male and female connection. cut the card to length to have a good circumfrence. push the card deeper into the connection and pull the hose at the same time.
This video is perfect. My damaged part very much like yours. Other YT videos I reviewed were incomplete and mentioned nothing about this removal tool. Pretty tough to remove without it. Good job. Headed home now to fix my truck.
Awesome video...I had no clue how to remove that quick connector in my Escalade. Man it helped me a lot and save me a lots of money. Thanks so much for such of valuable information. (I don't have any experience in auto mechanic but this video saved me)
My disconnect just broke off exactly like yours and I about shit a brick thinking awww man here we go but your video just made me sigh a breath of relief and pop open a beer! Will be replacing tomorrow!
Same here bro
David P lol right
Amazing video, thanks for the part numbers!! Just saved me a ton of time, frozen fingers and a huge headache. My connector broke when it was 15 degrees outside. Picked up the parts and had it swapped out in less than 10 minutes.
Thank you for the how-to video. Happened yesterday on my uncle's truck (connector broke in half). So the old ones are going away, 3/4" hose in their place and in-line reducers to link to the stock 5/8" hose. :)
Thank you for helping me by making your video get straight to the point I appreciate that that's why I subscribed
Thanks man, I was working on solving a no heat issue that turned out to be an asston of crud in the entire system. Thought I was golden while happily flushing the system away while it was 20degrees while anticipating having heat again. I hadn’t even noticed that plastic thing had broken off until I was reassembling all the hoses then I saw…. I was goober sad and was already an hour deep into watching vids on how to replace the heater core when I decided to search specific to the inlet and found your vid. Just got back from the parts store armed with the parts suggested. I anticipate this to get me back on track and thankfully not dismantling the damn dash(even though I eventually have to for busted actuators smh). Thanks again dude!
Thanks man this saved me and my brother a lot of time. I even got the same exact parts and it worked.
I'm a black man.... I like to thank 🙏💕the hell out of you bro.
I'm a Brown Man and I too thank him.
why does color matter to so many people?
What he ment to say is he is no mechanic.@@markpasieka
Thank you, you saved my life I thought I had to take out the heater core
Also I was lucky enough to find the same tool at Advanced Auto Parts. Thanks so much again!!!
I don’t know if you’ll even see this comment but thanks for the video. I’ve watched probably 30 different ones. I bought a set of angled quick connect tools and couldn’t get the 5/8 to work. Then got an aluminum one. Didn’t work either. I searched for your video in the middle of cussing and working my fingers to death trying to get the tool to seat. Finally found it again and you used the green. Felt too small at first and still had to work it a bit but finally got it changed out. Thanks so much!
I saw other videos but none off them say nothing about that special tool to release that end.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for the video. Went all over town looking for the disconnect tool and no one had the 1 I was looking for. Saw your video and saw that same set at the parts store. The green one worked for me also.
Excellent. I hope your truck is running well. Glad it worked!
Great vid, I am definitely getting that tool. I replaced the opposite connector and dicked with it for quite a while. I love how you purposely dropped the rest of the tools and how trained that Komodo is 👌.
Had no idea there quick disconnects for heater hoses. Picked up this exact set at Northern Tool. 2006 Silverado 6.0, used the green one on both. A little tricky to get them on there, I took the plastic engine covers off for more room. Appreciate this video big time!!
Ditto on the thanks for the part numbers. Made shopping real easy. Like others, once I knew what exactly to do, and HAD THE RIGHT TOOLS, it tool only a few minutes to change out both fittings.
Great tip. But if you have to do the other hose right beside it, use the 3/4" orange release tool. Green might work, but it's hard to get to, I used the orange and it worked well. Just had to really get up in there to get it to release.
You make it look so easy i had to use all my mite to pull mines off i even put grease on the end so it can come off easier. I didn’t even bother replacing it i just put the hose directly on the heater core to avoid that again
That sounds like me. 😅😅😅😅
This video was Very helpful so I gotta say a huge thank you I had no idea how to get these off.
The yellow the one that is next to green works way better I found. Great video!!
Dude, mine just broke at 4am on the way to work on a 2 hour commute. Your video just helped me a ton. Subscribing now. Thanks a ton.
Just happened to me to thanks also your video help me I saved alot
Thanks for the part numbers above! My local parts store gave me the wrong ones at first for my 2005 Avalanche 1500 (5/8 hose to 5/8" quick connect, which is wrong - needs to be a 5/8 hose to 3/4" quick connect).
I also found a Lisle 39190 aluminum 3/4" quick connect tool instead of the plastic ones.
After watching this video I had an idea. I cut a 1" strip from a yogurt container wrapped it around the pipe a few times and slid it in to release the broken fitting. It worked. This video was so helpful..ty edit: it was a total of 11" of yogurt container strip
Worked great thanx
Thank you for telling us what size tool you used, that helps a lot when people do not have the same cheap set.
thank you very much man i went back told the kids working there if you want to help sell these tools when you sell heater core hoses 🤦🏼♂️ man thank you
Thank you for the part numbers, really helped out a bunch...
Thanks man! Mine just went out on us last night, very useful vid 👍🏼
best video made for replacing the heater hose clamp
I was just about to replace my (still good) heater core and create a huge job for myself that would likely me being in over my head. Thank you so much for posting this.
right on brotha
Make sure you have a helper on the heater core.
Your short video help a lot. Thank you for posting it!
Thanks bro much needed help Auto zone didn't have a clue what I needed keep up the vids 👍
My connection broke just like you showed. awesome tip! I thought I had to replace the heater core.
Glad i found this. This just happened to mine. Glad to know it just a quick disconnect and not the core itself
Thanks man mine my adapter broke yesterday and caused it to over heat and leak out all the coolant but easy fix thanks!
Here’s how I did it:
I tried those aftermarket off the shelf disconnect tool sets but I couldn’t get it to go inside the connector. I surmised that the part that needs to go between the pipe and the connector was too thick. The correct tool for this is a J 43181. Dorman makes this tool as 800-450. I ordered it from AutoZone and got it the next day. I tried it and it worked, but here are some tips.
1. Don’t insert it all the way. If you do it won’t work. You will need to insert it about half way.
2. After you remove the broken connector and before you install the new one rub some antifreeze/coolant inside it or you won’t be able to get it to go on the pipe.
3. As to why there is even a connector between the hose and the pipe, I can only guess that maybe due to vibration the connector is a kind of a sacrificial part so that it breaks instead of the heater pipe itself, but this is only a guess.
Thanks for the video how to... I think this took me about 3 minutes after I had the right part and tool. Bought at O'Reilly, tool not as nice as yours but worked fine.
Thank You for showing us how to disconnect this part!
Best one yet. Nice job 👍
Thank you so much this video just save me a lot of time and money thank you
Thanks man I like your approach straight forward 100% help
Thank you helped out a lot had to replace both quick connections
Buy the better dorman 800-409hp,its stainless steel and shouldn't break again. It more money obviously but will definitely be worth it. I also have an 8.1 vortec with 398,000 on it and it runs great,no knocks or smoke. Great motors!Thanks!
Thanks!!! Your video helped me out tremendously.
Swiss army knives work perfect Iv always had one laying round bout I use it for something other than a bottle opener or wine opener
Thank you so much found mine leaking while doing a oil change
Thanks Brah...
Straight to the point. (Other U-tubers Should Take Note).
Real big help, thank you for posting this!
Thank you for the info ! Very helpful. God bless you 🙏🏽
This was extremely helpful - I just broke one of mine off and I was worried that I'd have to replace the heater core. Thanks!
L pop lop
lol ppl
I just did this. With the same tool. Once I slid the tool in it was still tight on there. Had to also twist the fitting as well. But came right off.
Thanks to you i just got my truck fixed,,
how many miles at time of hose break?
You saved my day I appreciate it hoss
Ty. Was having a bit of problems getting mine out. Tool made it much easier.
how many miles at time of hose break?
You helped me out so much thank you
Awesome work. Thank you
Thank you!! Very helpful.
5/8". Mine broke off today and I had no idea how to get that little bastard off. I'm gonna design and 3D print the quick disconnect adapter. Thanks for sharing!
The Mod Shop Disconnect set at harbor freight is only $4.75
how many miles at time of hose break?
@@chaytongchachu4203 glad to know. What I needed wasn’t available locally at the time or I would’ve totally picked one up but for a 15 minute design and 15 minute print it served me well.
@@acadianheatingandair3291 my truck was pushing 170k at the time but it’s probably best to change it preemptively. You can connect it directly to the metal tube with a hose clamp no need to replace the part.
@@TheModShopCO post a link... I have front and back heat in my suburban and cannot fit the tool between the stacked quick connects.. really bothering me... thinking of replacing all this quik disconnect crap with brass hose barbed Ts and rubber hoses
Thank you for your info save some money
OMG the fustration 😡 until i saw this video! THANK YOU THANK YOU! 😁👍🌹✨
thanks it helps a lot
Thank you for this and that big lizard scared me lol
Thanks for the video! Good shit easy fix I was actually about to say give up and then saw this video.
When you put the disconnect clamp on, pull it toward you so that both little clips go inside the back of the clamp. 9nce u got that, then turn the rubber/plastic clamp piece while pulling (dont worry about pulling the disconnect tool) hopefully i explained a bit better, but i just spent an hour and 30min on n off trying to do this for a coworker
Thank you and a thumbs up
Thanks for posting the part number. Are they the same for both sides?
Thank you you seve my life today 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks man helped allot great video
Thanks brotha! The plastic insert just snapped on my 2002 silverado. Needed to look up how to replace the part
how many miles at time of hose break?
Great video, thanks man.
Have you published any other videos on the cooling system replacement?
Exactly what i needed to know
Great video to the point.
First time on your channel 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
You help me alot thanks
The greatest shortest video. Thank you
What if you just connect the hose without the plastic piece you just replaced. I have a friend that says you dont need to replace the plastic just break it off clamp your hose back down ??
What size hose comnects to the heater core. Im tryimg to bypass pass my heater core. Just trying to figure out what size hose i need
Bro thank you!
I went to AutoZone last night trying to buy the quick disconnect. They had no idea what I was talking about. Looks like I could have just gone to the back shelf and picked it up on my own. That will be tonight's job.
Thanks my Brother
Tool worked perfect thx
worked great thanks
2003 silverado 2500 hd I use the 3/4 and it work. Thanks
Would it work on an 07 new body style?
Out of curiosity, what made you replace that part. Understood you were
God bless you!
Fyi - Dorman also makes a Stainless Steel version of the quick connect replacement... I just got those (8/2022) for $14 each.
If your hose breaks off at the connector then just run a small flat head inside it and lift up to break it off
Thanks man!
what do I do if connector can get inserted into hose ? ose seems very hard inside and the inside break a part when I squeeze it
Do you need to drain the coolant before doing this?
Awesome video...why would chevy use this brittle plastic piece instead of putting the heater hose directly on the heater core pipe like they have done for 50 years???...SMH
Did no one else notice the giant Kamoto Dragon on the floor?
I did. Lol
How do you remove the other hose is it done the same way? There is no video on it.
I’ve been trying for three hours to try and get the orange 3/4 piece under the connecter but it will not budge and I’ve tried everything.
I had to do just that to 2004 Silverado. But, what I don't see, is how to do a quick repair of a heater hose connector that breaks on you while you while you are on the road. It happened to me on a Sunday afternoon several months ago. What I did, was disconnect the hose going to the core ( wall panel ), and disconnected the return hose to the block. I made a "U" and reconnected the heater hose into the return engine block connector. I had bottled water in my truck, so I was able to replace most of the water and coolant mix and was able to get me and my wife home. Did my repairs the next day.

Good thing
Nice n quick
Thanks 💪🏼
