Re: Replacing Heater Core 91 DeVille—Any advice?

I just attemped to do my heater core this afternoon. Got everything inside done then I moved onto the hoses. 2hours later I still dont have either one off. From what I read on here I guess I should just use a chisel and break the hoses off my old core? Do all the cores have plastic ends? I dont want to try pounding it off then discover its metal because I'll have an even bigger mess on my hands. Any input is appreciated.

Re: Replacing Heater Core 91 DeVille—Any advice?

Ok, I got my heatercore done in about 2hours today. I was easily able to break the hoses off the old core using a chisel and then i pulled them out from under the A/C parts (without disconnecting the other ends) and easily removed the clamps and the peices of the old core.

I did have some trouble getting the new top hose back on.. but I was able to get it on just a little bit and put a clamp on it. Then i ran the car for 4 or 5mins and once the hose got hot it slid on the rest of the way easily.

Thanks for all the help guys!

(PS. HEATER WORKS AWESOME!)
