In this video I give an explanation on how to remove the so called quick disconnect. PayPal Donate paypal.me/duwo... T-Shirts-teespring.com/... duwop77 Quick Disconnect rover.ebay.com/...
What a refreshing video, clean talking, honest and intelligent. Can't thank you enough! Wish I had found this before I wore out my fingertips and still didn't get the connector off.
Thanks, highly appreciated. Sorry about your fingers. I was heading down that same path until I just started breaking the bridges. Thanks for watching 😁 👍
When you find the person that invented this "So called Quick" Disconnect I would like to be there with you so when you serve him that "Knuckle Sandwich" I will be glad to serve him up a "SECOND KNUCKLE SANDWICH" OMG!! What a pain in the ass, Thank you for your video it helped allot.
Haha. This sounds just like me!! I have had the new hose n T n coolant for about a week, just keep procrastinating as I have never worked on anything more than jump starting a car in my 55 yrs! With no back up plan, or help...it was nerve wracking! I'm gonna wake up early n do it...lol!😉
Bro.. after struggling to do the clips for 15 min I remembered this video as one of the videos I watched to do the replacement and was like these plastic things are getting snapped.. and what do you know came off so easy.. I was thinking I might need a clip to save 🤦♂️ great video to post I hope it helps someone else.
This helped me see how to get the t off more than any video I have seen so far, n have been watching for a week, trying to get the courage to climb under that hood and attempt to replace t n heater hose myself!! Thanks so much, I feel a little more confidant now!
I feel for you as I just fought one on my Silverado this past week. The difference between yours and mine is that mine didn't have that bridge that you could simply break off. No, mine was completely incased in the outer plastic. Like your's, my tube in the hose was brittle and just snapped as I was routing my A/C lines under it. I almost cried thinking that I had damaged my heater core and the chore of having to take the dash apart. Fortunately it was that plastic piece that snapped. So I researched it. Went to the auto parts store and found the replacement for a couple of dollars along with a "tool" to release it. I later found that the tool was for A/C and fuel lines not cooling hoses. It was too short. (story of my life) Being tucked up under the firewall limited access to the plastic fitting. So first I tried to cut it with a saw blade. Then a Dremel tool only to see that the heater core pipe was at the same depth as the fitting. Then I remembered seeing that someone used a soldering iron to cut the fitting. I used my soldering iron to melt the plastic. It took me three hours to make three cuts but it finally came off. Thankfully the heater core pipe was fine. So after cleaning the pipe, plenty WD40 and a prayer, I simply snapped the new fitting into place. In conclusion those fittings were designed for ease of installation at the factory not the poor guy trying to repair it.
Quick disconnect my ass. They meant quick connect! Older vehicles without these connectors worked fine. And you could repair out on the road. Who has quick disconnect tools in there emergency toolbox?
Thanks for the tips, much appreciated. Thanks for the humor too, made me laugh like hell but I figure I'm gonna be cryin and cussin when try to pull both of my broken "quick connects" off today. Both broke off at the hose connector due to brittleness from age (2001 Tahoe)
@@Duwop77 good simple video n that maje a tool n sometimes csn use a gasline remover thats a 3/4 ,but cutting them lil taos works too when yoh don t have the tool handy.
thanks for the video, that’s exactly what i was gonna do is break them parts off and i thought ill see if there is an easier way . thanks for the video.
@@Duwop77 Ya I'm kinda glad it happened tho didn't take much to break it so I probably would have been dealing with that one soon enough anyway. Thanks again for the advice and solidarity
@@PG-mx5qx they make a quick disconnection tool to do this, but you can use as 3/4 gas line remover slides in. An they make best kind are like 22 buck whole set will disconnect any gas line heater line ir any line on these newer rides. An hold heater core steady to avoid all the trouble of taking a chance on breaking heater core which will be a mess..... But if you do cut the black keeper lock and it will work.... ,then use a small pick or screwdriver and then a pair of small wire cutters. An hold the heater core steady so you do not break it.....
If you can tell me how you got that left heater core hose out, I’d really appreciate it. I got the same problem, I got the new connector piece and all, but can’t find out how to get the hose out of firewall, especially without breaking anything which is why I’m in this situation in the first place. I only need the left one out like yours. What did you use?
Hahahaha. Dude you had me fucking dying, I'm on my stomach face deep and I hear you say, "quick disconnect, theres nothing quick about it" knuckle sandwich. Hahaha
Awesome video I like how you show things don't always work or go as planned and sometimes a person must improvise I'm taking on this projec tomorrow on a 2002 GMC SIERRA 1500 4.3 vortec V6 with 403000 miles and it looks as the coolant system was never cared for peace and much respect Jason 👍
I agree....nothing quick About coming off...just quick too get on. But here's a tip...my hose to the black tee on the right side just broke off & was spraying coolant all over the engine. Push the hose in...squeeze the white clip too compress it...while Squeezing it then pull it back while gently twisting it....i just pulled then all out in about 15 min in the rain....the key is push the hose in to relax the pressure off the clip....then squeeze...hard!!! if they won't come off your not Squeezing hard enough....
When I first watch this video my first thought was "The Brother has got to be doing something wrong" .. Well I have got to apologize because he was 100% correct and the only way to get those little over priced bastards off is exactly the way he did it. Little by little you break them off is how I did it and cut the little bridges off that hold the locks. It occurred to me about half way thru this 4 hour nightmare why General Motors made this the way they did. It was not for the ease of replacing them it was for the quickness of assembly when the trucks were being built because it certainly was not for the convenience of replacing them and yes they are a pain in the butt for sure.
@@Duwop77 worked out great! Thank you for it done like in 10 mins And like 2 weeks later my transmission went out but got it rebuilt for $1200. A week later I got it back runs like a charm. Now I just got to replace my cluster since it hasn’t been working for years
@@andrewortiz687 sweet glad its back up and running. I had to replace my cluster also. Found a rebuilt one on ebay. Check out link below. th-cam.com/video/QIc49xUmn4g/w-d-xo.html
The right one snapped off while replacing the dist cap and rotor button. After fooling with disconnect tool for 15 minutes, got my dremel and cut a slot at the broken end (don't hit the metal) then twisted a wide flat head screwdriver to crack it apart. Disconnect Tool fit new part perfectly, was able to remove new hose(testing the tool) but did not work on the hardened 20 year old part.
@@mckinseymcqueen4275 I used a flat tip screwdriver. Break all the bridge's before trying to remove. Once they are broken fold them back to make sure they're out the way. Afterwards it should pull off
You're right. May be quick connect, but definitely NOT a 'quick' disconnect. I hate those connectors. They should have left well enough alone and used normal clamps. Thanks for the great tip on breaking those bridges off to make removal easier!
"if I knew who invented this I'd give him a knuckle sandwich" haha if I had a 1$ for every time I've said that. It was kinda ironic when you said that I instantly thought of those stupid clamps that you have to pinch to get off, then you actually mention it. Every time I have to get into a project that requires me to take those off I usually buy a big pack of worm gear clamps and I'm slowly replacing all the clamps in the car. Especially my b/c my last problem, the end you pinch was facing INSIDE the engine bay so I had to try and pry the hose off completely.. Ended up breaking the tip of the water return nipple off so now the hose barley stays on. All because of the little nightmares.
Duwop77 thanks for posting it. I can tell it was frustrating for you because you wanted to make a whole video about it after you finally got it off lol I do the same stuff so nobody else has to go through the aggravation
I replaced the left heater hose t-connector just last week - you are right, knuckle sandwich due to someone!! 🤣 I broke the black ridges too. Don't forget, only baby hands can get in there! Lol
Even then gm clamps at least that type sucks to get off off the hose to should be fun today it’s freezing outside so you know how plastics and cold don’t mix I’m in Canada and we’ve finally got a cold spell so I’m not looking forward to a 10 min job if they used regular clamps and no stupid disconnect clips plus finding the parts I run around yesterday to find the right cli for 3 or 4 hrs and had t order it out of 5 stores in my little town not one of them qwick disconnect pieces of garbage anywhere if you buy from gm you got to buy the whole assemble three hoses with the tee and the qwick connect about 270 with tax ther out of ther mind after market good thing for dorman a 20 dollar bill instead of a half week of your pay unbelievable have fun
New subscriber. Thanks for the info. My Tahoe started leaking today. Gonna get that part and try to fix it. Does the other hose have a different fitting or can I use the same one?
Were you not able to find a quick disconnect tool? Just had to do the same with my 06 trailblazer, my buddy had a set of the quick disconnect tools that just snap around the back side of the fitting and releases the inner and outer clips simultaneously. Takes about 2 mins.
Its ridiculous how much of a pain in the butt it is...I had 1 side of the white tab release but heck know will the other side release. So thank u for the tip...I can do it now! Thx so much!!!
I just replaced mine ten mins ago. I had to cut mine off them pill each end off. Took me 30 mins to think of it after getting upset bz it wouldn’t come off
Check your hose, it has white markings on it where it is supposed to sit in the bridal. Everyone I've come across the hose is too short cause the fitting to break. 5/8 hose about 4' long is what I replaced my factory hose with the second time I changed this not so quick disconnect. Yeah I cut mine off with a razor knife.
Bro I just fought for hours on this and bumped the other one while fighting it and snapped it. And the plastic left behind just pry the tabs up and wiggle it out.
I'm a 57 year old woman and I thought it would be a breeze for me to do this repair work myself, along with draining, flushing, and refilling the radiator. I had no problems with the drain, flush, refill part☺️, it was that demon possessed part that you are referring to that got right on my damn nerves!🥴🤦🏽♀️ I couldn't get it off, so I called my big, strong son for assistance, he watched your video and said, "How in the hell did he clip the black part and what did he use to do it?",🤔 he tried, but no success. 🙄😐 So, what he did was he just kept chipping away at it very carefully using a hammer, a flat head screwdriver, a steak knife, a toe nail file(I'm serious🤷🏽♀️)and some needle nose pliers and after about an hour he got that stubborn so-and-so off of there, and celebrated his accomplishment, it was a proud moment! 🤭😂 From that point it was a breeze and a complete success, but like you stated, ain't nothin' quick about it and that's the whole truth! 🤦🏽♀️😐🙄🥴🤔🤭😁😂🤣✌🏽❤
🤣 you got that right! Those fittings can be quite troublesome. I'm glad you and your son was able to get it done. Persistence is key. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Try to twist back and forth as you push in. Its usually fairly easy to connect. Its the disconnect that gives problems. Other than that the part may be faulty. The plastic could be warped.
I agree quick disconnect is bull. I remember when quick disconnect was loosen hose clamp and pull! Who has the special tool with them when you break down? No one.
I used a flat tip screwdriver. Pressed it in and twisted until the plastic bridge broke. You can also use wire cutters or snips. Thanks for watching 😁👍
I have a big problem with my isuzu ive went to get heater hose repair for a antifreeze leak. And i don't see the next hose into it. The tube is without a hose. And the heater hose still leaking.
@@Duwop77 I don't think so. I being driving it for more than a year this way. Without the second hose core. I think thats for the oxigen or something. The first hose core is for the heater hose. But i don't see a honest mecanic fixing the other issue and got tired of it just keept it that way.
@@AgustinaQuinteroFelix oh ok. Understandable. I thought this was something that currently happened. If you have instagram you could possibly send me pictures of your issue. I might be able to give you guidance?
Buddy I wanna say thank you just got finish and yes they are a bitch to get off broke the ridges and it slid off the longest part is trying to break the other ridge on the slanted side but still was a piece of 🎂
Long as you didn't break the silver piece. That's part of the heater core. You'll have to change the hole heater core then. Or by-pass it. But your truck wouldn't be trash. Everything is fixable. Thanks for watching 😁👍
I got it done tho lol good looking out great video oh btw cant remember if u mentiond the o rings there in there and dont lose em lol theres 2 i found out after pulling them off definitely need those
Brother you made my day!!! At 68 YO I thought it was me...exactly, 'there ain't nothin quick about it'.
What a refreshing video, clean talking, honest and intelligent. Can't thank you enough! Wish I had found this before I wore out my fingertips and still didn't get the connector off.

Where does hose coming the left side of the reservoir go to,?
Thanks
I went and bought a set of the plastic tools you need from Napa for 14 dollars and they come off real qwick with the connector remover tool
I've heard about those. I'll try them next time around. Thanks for watching 😁 👍
Great video 🤟🤟 really helped me out.
No problem. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Any tips on how I would break it safely? Should I try plier? Scissors? Screwdriver?
I used a flate tip screwdriver to break them. Thanks for watching 😁👍
I was close to disconnecting my fingers trying to get this piece off
😂😂😂
Really was helpful thank you🤘🏽🙏🏽
No problem, thanks for watching 😁👍
Thanks alot bro! Nice video
Thanks for watching 😁👍
It's designed for "quick connect" not "quick disconnect". Primarily for quick assembly at the factory.
Great job!!
Thanks. Also thanks for watching 😁👍
Now you have to tell folks about what took did you use to break it apart.
I used a flat tip screwdriver. You can also use snips or wire cutters. Sorry about that. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Bro I just fought for hours on this and bumped the other one while fighting it and snapped it. And the plastic left behind just pry the tabs up and wiggle it out.
Hoped it all worked out. Sorry for the late reply. 😁
I'm a 57 year old woman and I thought it would be a breeze for me to do this repair work myself, along with draining, flushing, and refilling the radiator.
I had no problems with the drain, flush, refill part☺️, it was that demon possessed part that you are referring to that got right on my damn nerves!🥴🤦🏽♀️
I couldn't get it off, so I called my big, strong son for assistance, he watched your video and said, "How in the hell did he clip the black part and what did he use to do it?",🤔 he tried, but no success. 🙄😐
So, what he did was he just kept chipping away at it very carefully using a hammer, a flat head screwdriver, a steak knife, a toe nail file(I'm serious🤷🏽♀️)and some needle nose pliers and after about an hour he got that stubborn so-and-so off of there, and celebrated his accomplishment, it was a proud moment! 🤭😂
From that point it was a breeze and a complete success, but like you stated, ain't nothin' quick about it and that's the whole truth! 🤦🏽♀️😐🙄🥴🤔🤭😁😂🤣✌🏽❤
🤣 you got that right! Those fittings can be quite troublesome. I'm glad you and your son was able to get it done. Persistence is key. Thanks for watching 😁👍

Knuckle sandwich 👊👊👊🤣😂
Depress the white tabs, push in and you can depress the tabs a bit more and then pull
Thanks for the tip 😁👍
@@Duwop77 Literally just had to replace this right now and got it off in less then a minute.
@@kennethrevilla8151 you should play the lottery. Your the luckiest guy I know when it comes to those things😂
Can the white connector next to the one you replaced be replaced as well?
Yes it can be replaced also. Thanks for watching 😁👍
@@Duwop77 do you have a video for that? The bigger white fitting to the right of that tee you replaced
@@aramiseusebio1240 I'm sorry I don't have a video for that.
They come off pretty easily if you push the T fitting towards the firewall while pressing the white quick disconnects down
Thanks for the tip. But it sounds like you're the luckiest man alive 😁👍
I have a 2009 suburban. I cannot remove with the little disconnect tool!
A lot easier and quicker to cut/break the bridges and disconnect 😁
I'm trying to connect the new one but for some reason it just won't click any suggestions
Try to twist back and forth as you push in. Its usually fairly easy to connect. Its the disconnect that gives problems. Other than that the part may be faulty. The plastic could be warped.
Put the white plastic clip on first with some grease. Then clip in the black body.
I agree quick disconnect is bull. I remember when quick disconnect was loosen hose clamp and pull! Who has the special tool with them when you break down? No one.
Exactly! Couldn't get no better than that. Thanks for watching 😁 👍
If u don’t mind me asking how did u break it
I used a flat tip screwdriver. Pressed it in and twisted until the plastic bridge broke. You can also use wire cutters or snips. Thanks for watching 😁👍
He's my issue with chevy, why would you put plastic connections on a heating system 🤔
Chevy got a lot of bs with their design.
I have a big problem with my isuzu ive went to get heater hose repair for a antifreeze leak. And i don't see the next hose into it. The tube is without a hose. And the heater hose still leaking.
The hose may have blown somewhere in the engine bay?
@@Duwop77 I don't think so. I being driving it for more than a year this way. Without the second hose core. I think thats for the oxigen or something. The first hose core is for the heater hose. But i don't see a honest mecanic fixing the other issue and got tired of it just keept it that way.
@@AgustinaQuinteroFelix oh ok. Understandable. I thought this was something that currently happened. If you have instagram you could possibly send me pictures of your issue. I might be able to give you guidance?
@@Duwop77 Good morning. No i dont have a instagram. Thank you. 🙏
@AgustinaQuinteroFelix Your welcome. God bless 🙏
Buddy I wanna say thank you just got finish and yes they are a bitch to get off broke the ridges and it slid off the longest part is trying to break the other ridge on the slanted side but still was a piece of 🎂
Your welcome. Glad everything worked out. Thanks for watching 😁
Why would you reuse a hose that just broke? Bad idea me 🤔thinks
It all depends on the condition of the hose. If the hose isn't brittle and cracking. Usually you can reuse it. Thanks for watching 😁👍
I just did mine on my suburban hardest thing I ever worked on. So tight in the back. Bad designed I say.
I agree 100% glad you got it done. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Its quick disconnect because you can break those things by pulling them hard enough😂😂
But if you had managed to get it off without breaking it you could have slide the hose back on and put a hose clamp around it were it broke at.
put new one on now back and metal hoses are leaking any suggestions
One viewer commented and said his new fitting was bad and leaked when he installed it. Make sure it's not a faulty part. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Did you have to drain some coolant out first from radiator?
No sir. I just dived right in😂. Thanks for watching 😁👍
@@Duwop77 ok thanks. How much coolant spilled out juat so I know what to expect?
I don't remember exactly how much. But it's a good amount.
What if I broke it off the silver piece what can I do bro is my truck trash now?
Long as you didn't break the silver piece. That's part of the heater core. You'll have to change the hole heater core then. Or by-pass it. But your truck wouldn't be trash. Everything is fixable. Thanks for watching 😁👍
been pissing me off for the last 2 days bro
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the video helps out. Wish you the best. Thanks for watching 😁👍
I got it done tho lol good looking out great video oh btw cant remember if u mentiond the o rings there in there and dont lose em lol theres 2 i found out after pulling them off definitely need those
I did this today and I'm leaking coolant... Right where the white tabs are on the heater core what can I do??
Sorry I'm late. But sounds like a faulty part. There's a rubber seal in the fitting. Sometimes they leak right out the box. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Duwop77 definitely was the rubber O ring had to get 3 😂 thank you for the reply!
Wow 3😯. Glad it's all behind you now. Great job👍. Thanks for watching 😁👍
How u get that part out of the hose?
You have to break the seal. I usually use a pair of pliers. Just slightly squeeze and rotate till you see the hose twist. Thanks for watching. 😁👍
😂😂😂quick disconnect
I'm fixing mine now and I installed the new quick disconnect and its pouring out water
It must be faulty. There's a rubber seal on the inside that's supposed to stop water from seeping out. Hopefully you can get it all worked out 👍
@@Duwop77 thats exactly what it was I went got another one and it worked perfect took me 5 minutes
@@brandonmikes Awsome! Glad it was worked out.😁
