HEATER HOSES
Heater hoses are routed from the water pump and
thermostat housing (radiator on automatic transmission
vehicles) to the core inlet and outlet pipes as shown in
Figure 7. Hoses are attached at each end with screw type
clamps.
Replacement
The heater core can be easily damaged in the area of the
core tube attachment seams whenever undue force is
exerted on them. Whenever the heater core hoses do not
readily come off the tubes, the hoses should be cut just
forward of the core tubes. The portion of the hose
remaining on the core tube should then be split
longitudinally. Once the hoses have been split, they can
be removed from the tubes without damage to the core.
