420A Heater Core hose

[TotalEclipse21]

How do I get the clamp off the bottom heater hose going into the firewall? I can't get pliers in there for it is too cramped. Please help!!!

Never mind I just did a bypass... it'll work for now but please reply.

its rough but i ended up removing my intake mani to do mine

Oh and if yours sunk into the firewall a bit like mine did i ended up using some adjustable pliers and a screw driver to pry mine out a bit. GL let me know how it goes

ha
i had the same problem
What you do is get some needle nose pliers
and loosen the clamp and move it as far back as possible
so its not clamping any solid part our your heater core.
Wiggle the hose and use a flat head screw driver to pry that
heater hose from the heater core tube.


The hose in the bottom is harder to get get but it can be done.
You don't need to remove your intake manifold.

you could pick up some long needle nose pliers, straight or curved... depending on which one would work better for access.
