The proper method for hose removal. Thank you for demonstrating the proper way to perform this. Saw others that were cutting, breaking them off etc. obviously they are not mechanics.Thanks again.
This is my first time commenting on RU-vid. Your video inspired me to write my big thanks to you. Usually I select thumbs up if a video is good or helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to film and post this. It was a big help for me to successfully remove the heater hoses from a 2015 Silverado. I first tried with another tool with no success and was ready to give up. I watched your video on how to do it and bought the same tools you showed at NAPA. You saying to use the 7/8 (white one) was a life saver, as well as your instruction to twist it as you worked it. I FINNALY got them off. I being a rookie with these type of heater core connectors it was difficult. But now in the future with the muscle memory of my recent experience it should not be too bad. I don't know how you were able to do it one-handed other than experience, I was impressed. Two suggestions to help others find this post; , if you can, edit your title to include the years Silverado or GMC that this technique will work on, and say it is for disconnecting heater hoses. I could not find any post for 2014-2018 Chevy Silverado's for how to do this when searching until I found your video by chance. Thanks again!
This 65 yr old woman wants to know how to replace the hose. How hard is it to do the bottom side? My hoses appear to be good. So I should leave them alone?
@@maryann823 There not that hard to get the bottom off. I get them off with a pair of pliers for the clamp, then just cut the hose off with a razor blade. My advice is, if they're not leaking, don't touch them. Thanks for watching, appreciate it.
@@showmemechanics I had fix the problem and that problem was I didn't have it tighten. It was kinda loose... I was thinking it was coming from the white connection but that was fine. Took my truck for a test drive and notice the gage didn't go past 210
Do yourself a favor and do away with these quick release fittings altogether. There is no benefit to having them on your vehicle, they will only wear out later. Install standard T's and or clamp hoses directly without quick release fittings.
