    The same thing happened to me. I was 75 miles from anywhere in Idaho when it broke. With a knife I shaped a plug for the broken disconnect and one for the hose. Got me home where I could get a new disconnect. Your video helped me get it fixed in about 15 minutes time. Thanks.

      What did you do? You shaped a plug?

    Just a guy,,,thanks for the time you spent, it helped me out big time right before a snow storm in CT. My connector broke coming home from getting some sand/salt, just made it home before overheating. Mine came off easy by hand, after rotating the disconnect tool while pushing it in from behind. The hard part for me was getting the new one snapped on, I had to use some dielectric grease on the new fitting, and finally heard 2 little clicks after pushing it on and wiggling it with a lot of force.
    Cant believe what some others were doing to get the old connector off...LOL

    Thanks for the tips on this project. Couple things i learned while doing mine.
    I didn't need the puller tool that you got from autozone (my store didn't have it). I got the quick disconnect tool (similar to the one you got from Napa) from autozone. At autozone they call it a fuel and ac line disconnect tool set.
    Brand- OEMPN- 25052
    I put it on, pushed quick connect toward the firewall, and pulled the "tool" toward me at the same time. Came off easy (by hand).
    **tip 2** buy 2 quick connect pieces. The second one broke on me while working on the first (old and brittle)

    @michaelgarcia7604 9 років тому +3

    Thanks for your help Justa Guy! Had to replace my heater hose. wasn't sure how to disconnect the hose until I saw your video. I used the 3/4 quick connect tool. Thanks a lot bud!

  • @222leeloo
    @222leeloo 4 роки тому +1

    Great video.
    Mine came off just like yours with the plastic tip still in hose.
    I changed one then -low&behold- the other started dripping immediately. None of the stores around me had even heard of the extraction tool. A mechanic friend suggested using a small saw blade but there wasn't any room to really get a cut going. So i used a saws-all( very carefully!)& made some cuts then levered it off with a screwdriver.
    Thanks!

    I just had that fitting break on my way home today. I was thinking Heater Core replacement........ Your video just saved me a Lot of frustration, time and money!! Thank You Sir!!

  • @timtaylor1668
    @timtaylor1668 11 років тому +1

    Thank you!!! This turned out to be such a simple and inexpensive repair thanks to watching your video. My local NAPA did not have the removal tool in stock, so I checked with Auto Zone and they had one! Although it looks different (cheaper looking), it worked just fine. That part # is 25052 - AC/Fuel Line Quick Disconnect Tool Set ($9.99). FYI: Use the black 3/4" tool. The actual repair took less than 10 minutes. I spent $52.93 total which included two gallons of anti-freeze. Thank you!!!!

  • @mikecpmm
    @mikecpmm 10 років тому +5

    Great video Justa Guy. I had the same exact issue (same side as well) and was getting scared about replacing the core. Then low and behold I came across your video. Truly appreciate it brother. Got it repaired in minimal time.

  • @JJ-el8li
    @JJ-el8li 9 років тому +1

    Thank you so much for sharing. This saved me a lot of time removing the hoses to replace the rotted connectors and do a heater core flush. To recap; here is what you need.. Napa p/n 77-4031 (the 3/4 inch disc is what you use), Dorman p/n 800-409, and Auto Zone p/n 27106. If you feel up to it, then install a Peak Radiator Flush and Fill Kit p/n PKF0AA on the hose per instructions. Perform your flush with water, then radiator flush liquid,and finally with compressed air.

    THANK YOU! I just broke the exact same one. People were telling me that it couldn't be replaced.
    I knew it could. I could turn it but couldn't get it off. I did some googling and came across your video. THANKS AGAIN!

  • @Twelve20Inc.
    @Twelve20Inc. 8 років тому

    Thank you. I was about to load my truck up and take it to the shop when I ran across your video. 6 dollar part, coolant and 15 mins later I was back up and running. I used extra long needle nose pliers with the tips bent 90 degrees and it popped right off.

  • @r2d3henry
    @r2d3henry 8 років тому +3

    Thanks for the vid. My previous mechanic bent the intake and outlet. I quickly realized that these quick disconnects are crap. just put two clamps on each hose and connect the hose direct.

  • @bartburton1516
    @bartburton1516 8 років тому

    Thank you for you video. It Saved my ass today. I pulled it up while i was waiting on a friend to come safe me. I called NAPA and bought the parts and tool over the phone. My buddy stopped and picked them up on his way. 20 min later i was a back on the road.

    @jamesb1221222 9 років тому +1

    Looks like I know what i'm getting myself into tomorrow. I have my heater core lines coming off water pump looped because I couldn't figure this out. Hopefully I can fix it and have heat in my truck again. My connector broke when I was working under the hood with engine running. One burnt hand resulted.
    Thanks for the video.

    @1969CampEvans 8 років тому +1

    Hey Justa Guy,
    I greatly appreciate this video. You gave your free time to help me and many others. I am getting educated on how to do this project on my pick'em up truck , after looking at location ( close to firewall, with limited space available ) I know this job would be a BEAR. I AM GRATEFUL TO YOU AND YOU TUBE . THANK YOU SO MUCH.

  • @tjdinfl
    @tjdinfl 7 років тому

    Excellent, excellent video! I have to replace the heater hose which goes to a "Y" and connects to the antifreeze reservoir and a little stub hose that goes into the water pump. Well, all of this looked really simple until I looked up to where the hose goes into the heater core. I looked at that and said "Oh no! What the heck is that!" This is the second video I have viewed on the googled subject and I can tell that you have just saved me a whole lot of headache! Thank you for taking the time to help a brother out! I appreciate it!

  • @Kjisking69
    @Kjisking69 7 років тому

  • @bobbymarm9978
    @bobbymarm9978 7 років тому

    thank you so much for the video - finding the pry bar was the most difficult part. its easier to cut the old quick disconnect off with a small hacksaw and avoid hitting the heater core nipple. might be better to directly connect the hose to the heater core nipple and avoid putting on another quick disconnect. thanks again this vid helped so much!

    Hey buddy so you video was extremely helpful... One little addition we couldn't find the tool you have as its Sunday but we borrowed a slide hammer with the hook end attached we used those connection removal tools u suggested and with light taps to the slide we were able to replace both of those connections in 20 minutes. You video was perfect thank you very much. +Like to you

  • @davidc9286
    @davidc9286 4 роки тому

    Thank you very much for showing me how to CRUSH that piece that was stuck inside. I had spent all afternoon replacing a manifold converter on a Chevy Colorado. They don't have a lot of room to work in and everything was just about buttoned up. All of a sudden I'm getting an antifreeze bath. On The Colorado the tubing makes a 90 degree turn just 2 inches from the firewall and goes right towards the block. The tubing allows clearance around the exhaust manifold. Anyways You would think the engineers would have left an inch and a half of pipe from the heater core out through the firewall instead of making these dumb ass disconnects. I don't know what engineer got paid to design this. It's crap. Thanks for the CRUSH tip buddy.

  • @are928
    @are928 8 років тому

    Thanks a lot brother it happened to me to, it scared the hell out of me I thought it was the heater core that went bad on me and immediately thought it'd be a nightmare replacing that thing going to autozone and Napa tomorrow.

  • @rayaguirre4237
    @rayaguirre4237 8 років тому

    Thanks for showing all the tools/process needed. Worked like a charm! Like others have said: "no silly cutting or burning like a lot of others recommend". You did it the correct way and that is my way too. If anything, I did not have that metal bar tool #27106 and would of probably helped but got her done anyway. Cheers!

  • @YT_Random_1
    @YT_Random_1 9 років тому +2

    If you had that much trouble you did some thing wrong. That removal tool bar is just to put positive pressure against the quick disconnect removal tool ( white plastic part). That leaves your other hand free to gently twist and pull the hose off of the heater core. Heater cores are made if thin aluminum, yanking on the hoses will stress the core and most likely cause a leak, or break off the aluminum tube that connects to the core.

    I replaced the quick disconnects in my 2004 chevy tahoe about a year ago with the auto zone part. The original factory part lasted 14 years and the auto zone part broke after 1 year. Midnight tow and garage service about $500 to fix properly. Sure wish I'd spent the extra $25 while going through the hassle of replacing the first time.

    • @montag4516
      @montag4516 2 роки тому

I'm going to buy one for each side. How far away is the other from breaking with 240,000 miles? Not far enough to not replace both for this old man. Thanks again.

    Thanks for the great video. But leave it to Chevrolet engineers to complicate what used to be a simple hose to heater core connection with a normal hose clamp. Now we get a cheaply made part that can leave you stranded on the side of the road an no special tools to repair a coolant leak.

    You can also spend 5 minutes and a 50 cent hack saw blade to remove the disconnect. Slip the hose directly on the heater core outlet and clamp it on with a small hose clamp. 10 minutes and $1.25 later your done.
