Heater Hose/Tube Assembly by Dorman - OE Solutions (part#626-301) / AC Hoses & Fittings

A:

These are the instructions for replacing the Heater Hose/Tube Assembly: Place a drain pan or bucket under the radiator and drain the system by opening the petcock fitting near the bottom. If the old engine coolant is not going to be used, dispose of it immediately because it is extremely poisonous. Remove the hose clamps from your old hose with a pliers or screwdriver, depending on the type of clamp used, and twist and pull the hose to loosen it from the fitting. Remove the hose and carefully scrape the fittings clean, then apply a small amount of gasket sealer to the fittings to assure a tight seal with your new hose. Apply sealer to the fitting only; this will help avoid any excess from possibly clogging the hose or a water channel in the block. Slide the clamps onto your new hose and install them, making sure that the hose ends slide over the fittings far enough to position the clamps properly. Tighten all the clamps, fill the radiator with coolant, and start the engine to check for cooling system leaks. Re-check the fluid level after the engine has reached normal operating temperature. Tools required for this operation: Screwdriver, Adjustable Pliers, Slip-joint Pliers, Hoses, Hose Clamps, Non-hardening Gasket Sealer, Antifreeze.
