Removing the heater hose connector is simple with the right tool. Installing the new disconnect does not require the tool.
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
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
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.
I saw other videos but none off them say nothing about that special tool to release that end.
Thank you very much.
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!
Thank you, you saved my life I thought I had to take out the heater core
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. 😅😅😅😅
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
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.
Ok 65 yr old female who thinks she can do anything 🤷♀️ I’m gonna give it a try. Do you have a video showing how to replace the hose, that is how to get it off at the bottom. I don’t feel a clamp there.
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!
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.
You sir saved me from further frustration. I bought the same set that you used. I thought the orange tool was the proper one. I had purchased the aluminum 3/4" hinged tool from Amazane and gave up on it after 40 minutes. When you selected the green 5/8" tool I paused the video, went back into the engine bay, and three minutes later I had the dang thing off. I'm still trying to get the connector on the left off but that will wait until tomorrow. These two hose connectors have taken more time to removed than all the other hoses, the water pump, and idler pulley and tensioners COMBINED. I am seriously considering putting the hoses directly on the heater core nipples and clamping them down like every other water hose since Henry Ford. In short, thank you. EDIT: Today I went back to get the left connector off. I tried and was having difficulty. I decided that the tool needed a bit of lubrication. I used plumbers grease to lightly lube the inside and outside of the tool. Viola, the connector is off and I am putting my Silverado back together. I'm 76 years old so it takes me much longer to get things done. Thanks again Zent Rose for leading m to a successful end to my problem.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
Thanks for posting the part number. Are they the same for both sides?
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
@@charlesmason9625ah that makes perfect sense.
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.
The yellow the one that is next to green works way better I found. Great video!!
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 helping me by making your video get straight to the point I appreciate that that's why I subscribed
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
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!
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)
Your short video help a lot. Thank you for posting it!
Thank You for showing us how to disconnect this part!
Thank you for the part numbers, really helped out a bunch...
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 ??
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.
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.
Also I was lucky enough to find the same tool at Advanced Auto Parts. Thanks so much again!!!
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
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.
why cant you ditch the connector and just hose clamp the hose on the heater core?
Im an OEM type of guy but this quick connect heater hose shit is the worst engineering I have ever seen... Chevy trying to incorporate proprietary crap
@@markpasieka It was really easy to connect, just about impossible to disconnect.
Glad i found this. This just happened to mine. Glad to know it just a quick disconnect and not the core itself
This video was Very helpful so I gotta say a huge thank you I had no idea how to get these off.
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. :)
Suburban has two heater cores - one for the front and one for the rear passengers (located in the back of the vehicle with hoses running under the body the full length of the vehicle) . I was unable to use this tool on 2003 Suburban rear heater core hose removal. This tool seemed to fit, but provided no disconnecting. I was able to pinch the white tabs on the quick connect and work the hose free. I wonder if there are more than one type of quick-connect hose connectors?
My connection broke just like you showed. awesome tip! I thought I had to replace the heater core.
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 👌.
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!
The greatest shortest video. Thank you
What is the part number of the actual hose? Having a hard time finding that.
Thanks.
Are those hose disconnects the same size...just diff colors?
Does this Dorman connector work for both white and black connectors?
Yes.
Thanks man mine my adapter broke yesterday and caused it to over heat and leak out all the coolant but easy fix thanks!
If your hose breaks off at the connector then just run a small flat head inside it and lift up to break it off
Just a suggestion you should put the part number or place where to get the tools from in the description. Good video though.
I added amazon links to description. The pop up ads appear to be cheaper than amazon though. Thank you.
best video made for replacing the heater hose clamp
Out of curiosity, what made you replace that part. Understood you were
OMG the fustration 😡 until i saw this video! THANK YOU 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.
Fyi - Dorman also makes a Stainless Steel version of the quick connect replacement... I just got those (8/2022) for $14 each.
Thanks Brah...
Straight to the point. (Other U-tubers Should Take Note).
Is it the same part for the hose next to it at the top ? I broke both of them so would the part work for both at the top?
What size are the heater hose clamps, the factory type hose clamp by the firewall! 5/8, maybe?
How do you remove the other hose is it done the same way? There is no video on it.
Mine is the connector to the left. It has tabs on it that will not release with that tool. Mine are the disconnect tool without the pull tab.
Thanks to you i just got my truck fixed,,
how many miles at time of hose break?
Thanks man this saved me and my brother a lot of time. I even got the same exact parts and it worked.
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
Beware the Dorman part, I went to install one and the locking tabs slid right off the body of the connector. The whole connector is 2 parts, the little locking tabs are a small piece that slide into the larger part of the body. Looks like they forgot to put some glue in one of my 2 connectors and the locking part slid right off after I connected it to the heater core... The GM part's were around $30 each, vs the $10 for Dorman part. If your cheap Dorman part fails, there goes at least $40 in dexcool, not to mention breakdown time and any other issues that may be caused by losing all your coolant while on the road.
how many miles at time of hose break?
Do you got too drain all the coolant out when you are doing this? Or will it just drain out of the line?
Ty. Was having a bit of problems getting mine out. Tool made it much easier.
how many miles at time of hose break?
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 for the tip helped out so much. Does anyone know when the heat comes back ?
Did you bleed your cooling system after replacing this? heat should come back after bleeding
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.
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
Question: why is this connector even on here? Why not put the hose directly on it?
Thanks man! Mine just went out on us last night, very useful vid 👍🏼
Same removal for the hose next to it???
yes
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
Good video. Thanks for putting it together. Is that the same method for removing the other hose (the one right next to it.)?
I just broke the other side off. I think it is the same method but there is no clamp on that one. Did you fix it this same way?
what about the other hose how do you get that hose off
where did you get the disconnect tools
I got all ya'll beat.. My heater hose connector broke after travelling 40 miles to the middle of nowhere... And it broke off, just when I parked my truck in the parking lot..at an rc flying field. We used an old RC engine muffler, cut the pipe off... and turned it into a bypass connector.. Just bypassed the heater altogether.. It was around 95 degrees then...So now it's getting cold and I guess I better get to fixin it if I want heat this winter.
awesome!! what size is the green one???
5/8
What did yo do? Did you push it out? Can't you just disconnect it another way without the tool?
Thank you so much for the video. It help me remove the heater hose on my son Chevrolet 2007. But how do you insert the new connector back? I tried but it won’t connect.
Use some oil or something so it can slide in.
Do both hoses take the same connector both of mine are leaking and want to make sure I get the right connectors
Yes
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?
Did no one else notice the giant Kamoto Dragon on the floor?
I did. Lol
Thank you for this and that big lizard scared me lol
Do you need to drain the coolant before doing this?
Thanks bro much needed help Auto zone didn't have a clue what I needed keep up the vids 👍
Man I was like what tf is there a Komodo in the garage 😆
Thank you so much found mine leaking while doing a oil change
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.
how many miles at time of hose break?
Mine has the push releasing “buttons” on the side. Is there an easy way to do it? I push in on the tabs and press the line together and try to pull apart and it doesnt work.
Real big help, thank you for posting this!
Will this tool work for a 2007 Chevy Silverado classic 2500hd
What if I don’t have the tool to pull it off ?
Have you published any other videos on the cooling system replacement?
What’s the tool called and where do I get it
What is the name of the green tool you used to remove it?
Than again please advise how to put the new connector in just push it in twist it or what? I'm confused. Thanks anyway.:(
yes just push it on there. If it is being stubborn, you can lubricate the o-ring in the connector with some coolant and it will slide right on!
ZentRose thanks a lot body .:) :)
@@ZentRose Thank You. That MF was being a SB POS! Trying to give me a case of the ass!
Can I just cut the broken piece instead of the tool?
Do you have to flush your cooling System first before you do this ?
