Does anyone have a trick or can tell me the special tool that I need to remove the plastic fitting between the rubber and metal lines on the firewall? Stupid me broke it while taking out my old motor

 

those plastic nozles things are very weak. one of mine broke off while racing... you cant just replace that you have to buy the whole heater core cuz they come with those plastic things.... BUT check this out,

i just removed some of that plastic **** and bought like a foot of a thicker hose and put the hose over the entire plastic piece n put it tight with a hose clamp. u can find the hose at a local part store alont with hose clamps

 

There's a tool that looks like a fuel line removal tool but is sized for the heater hoses. Those things clip on just like the fuel lines do.

 

Thanks! I know they are replacable because I ordered the new plastic piece just waiting to get it. I looked alot like the fuel line connector but I couldnt get a good look at it from the backside.

 

i just cut them off and put hose clamps on it.. works fine.

 

Napa sells them but they are 18 bucks a piece wholesale. Not worth it.
