how to disconnect quick connect heater core radiator hose

I've seen other videos of quick connect hoses but my quick connect didn't want to come off so easily. I found a way to disconnect without damaging anything.

God man thank you sooooooo f***ing much. I was working on my 2000 silverado for an hour and couldn't get it off using the quick disconnect tool, and like you said in all the other videos it pops right off. Used your needle nose plier idea and it worked great! Saved my ass man, thank you!

Bro that's the one i'm dealing with right now this thing sucks balls....... It's so brittle. I can't even grip it with a needle nose. I have a nightmare on my hands. even though I bypassed the system. I gotta get it done because it's getting stupid cold outside.

Thank you so much for posting this video. I've said every curse word there is to say before watching this video lol

[@coatneyadkins9005]

You can look at those the wrong way and they'll break on those older trucks, whatever plastic polymer combo they used on those gets particularly brittle with age...

Biggest pain in the ass. I made my own tool out of a piece of tin, worked like a charm

[@taselescanlan2795]

I just use a long flat head screwdriver and my 3lb hammer. Hit the top and bottom plastic tab things. Slide right off after.

What is the two white pipes called that the adapter is connected to. Mine have corroded

[@lilliananderson1986]

Fellas? I cannot seem to get the white or the orange fitting to work

[@loveofchrist5808]

What I did is I got a torch in a long handle screwdriver I hated it till it was red hot and melted it right off, it will save you a lot of time I tried and tried to get it off and never came off so I just burned it off melted that off right away it works try it. God bless you my brothers and sisters ✝️✝️✝️🇺🇸

Do you still need help? I’ll come by and help you.

[@albertpardo2577]

What size did you use

[@yourface3154]

They're generally color coded. I believe the white is 7/8".

[@joeblow123]

they are called quick connect, not quick disconnect for a reason. pure junk.

You got that right!!
