Mine broke the same way, 18yr old rotted plastic. Happened to me while driving far away from any parts store. The coolant drained from the tank so I needed to tow it over 100 miles. Do you know what other plastic connectors there are - I want to replace them all to prevent another disaster.
Sometimes I get good footage, sometimes I get footage that is not very helpful. Overall the goal is to share my experience, tools I used and give others an idea of the level of effort. Best of luck in your repair.
So i basically just stepped on it too hard i guess n it started smoking then when i checked that same hose was likw ripped off n there was liqoud spilt all over. Is this the same problem?
Ethan, both are heater hoses, one runs to the heater core, the other is the return hose. Should be the same process to replace either hose (or both if you choose).
Looks like you're using generic hardware store hose clamps? Auto manufacturers stopped using those because they dont apply even pressure, don't expand and contract evenly with the heating and cooling cycles of the engine. So after a while it crushes the hose. Then it will appear loose. Then eventually it will leak or cut right through the hose. Or damage plastic. The constant pressure clamps are good. Not a problem
Good man always nice to have the right tool. I just had to replace them dame plastic quick connects on my sister's Yukon. Really smart on gm behave NOT lol. Nothing quick about them

wish you would have shown as best as you could the cutting away of the tab retaining parts because i have the same issue

Sonia, sounds like your hose failure was more spectacular. Mine was simply leaking, but in either case sounds like you need a new heater hose.
Thanks!
What’s the hose called that’s right next to the hose your removing?
And will it be the same process to remove it as the one shown in the video

What about the "O" clamps with the 8mm fastener
Mine blew off just like ur broke yesterday
Where do i plug in tje heater hose into
Somebody cut mine and stuck them together can u tell me why
Sounds like someone already bypassed your heater core. Like;y because it was leaking.
There is a tool for that lol.
I have since purchased the tool for the next time I need it!
