Default Mine did that bout two months ago

gm makes a special took to remove them... They are plastic fittings with finngers that grab the heater core fitting all the way around. Its a real pain.

You can try using fule line disconnect kits and some force and eventually work them off. It will take some time and effort..


Best of luck to you...

I always use the ac disconnect tool. If you cant get it with that then just cut it off with die grinder and replace with straight heater hose.

You can run to autozone or orilleys they sell a set of white quick disconnects they will work used em quite a few times had no problems, when you go to remove it first shoot some wd40 or pb blaster in the back side of the connector and this will help to get it broken loose.
