Nothing quick about these junk leaking "O" ring hoses, and like washer less kitchen facets the entire design is a scam.

Try doing it while on the pipe

quick ? only with a pair of hose pliers

[@swackhammer2139]

Now if Ford didn't bury these about a foot under the cowl directly beside each other

THANK YOU!!!! I have been looking for a simple description of how to deal with these quick-disconnect connectors! Not so quick when you have to spend an hour on KZbin trying to find a video that tells you how they work.

Now show us how to remove one that's been hooked to the heater core for 250k miles

Evap service hose connecting to evap purge valve hose solenoid brought me here.

After wasting time on this after market quick connect that was never going to connect I used a simple hose clamp. I want to be a engineer some day so i can design stuff that is difficult to impossible for normal people to work on.

This video helped me out tremedously. I replaced the ends on the main vacuum line of my 2001 F150 5.4 ltr and in doing so bumped the top heater hose enough to break the plastic quick connect. The clip end was still on the heater core pipe and I could not get it off. This video allowed me to get the broken piece off and replace the heater hose. The trick is to push the quick connect to the firewall, then push down internal tabs of the clip while easing the black plastic quick connect away from the firewall. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!!!!

Thanks! You're still saving humanity much time and effort in November of 2023 🙂

The engineer that designed this, especially the recessed heater hose connections against the firewall, needs to be strung up!

Just an FYI from an old mechanic, a dab of silicone grease on the metal male tube that sides in the o ring will save alot of time and headache when reassembling. This will also help with future removal efforts. Great info in the video by the way. Straight and to the point. Tx.

By far the best description (and video) I found for removing the heater hose Quick Connect. Replaced both heater hose assemblies on '97 Expedition with rear heating unit. The toughest was at the firewall, but after doing the others this can be done by feel. Had ordered the removal tool with the hoses, but saw this video before the parts arrived. Removed old hoses before the tool even arrived. Thanks for sharing this info!

thanks alot u saved me , had the hardest time trying to disconnect this, watched your video and did it in 10 sec, thank u

[@mikeabbott9748]

This is the best video I have seen on the ford disconnect hose. Thank You for the demonstration.

[@shivapriyasaraswati7171]

Thank you, so much!

[@kylasradiantragddollsfamil6323]

Thanks! You just saved my hubby a ton of time. This isn't only for ford... We were working on a 2000 Mazda MPV minivan. The quick connects might be universal. They are at the very least, interchangeable between a 2000 Mazda MPV and the Ford expedition in this video. Thanks again for a very informative video! I'm subscribing 😁

[@kerekbearden9734]

Great video MrRchitty! I noticed a few folks were asking about where to obtain this quick connect part. I just had to replace one on my 2003 Ford Truck F150 1/2 ton P/U 4WD 5.4L FI SOHC 8cyl.

[@DavidWhite-uz3to]

thanks man, my quick connect broke removing the spark plug. this video was a quick life saver

[@christopherrandolph2151]

Thanks for posting this video! Good job of explaining the quick connect heater hose! Helped to make my fix doable -- and successful.
