hi i have taken the plastic covering off from inside to show the heater core, now i have seen replacement ones and they arent like the orignal heater core u can take it apart inside with 2 clips

but so i have the Plenium off the engine and disconnected the heater hose that goes to that plastic clip which is a stupid idea as my engine coolant leaks from there but how the heck do u get the 2 Clamps off the heater core pipes

do u need a special tool its aquared to get at and i really dont wanna take of the engine head just to get better access what have some of you done to get at that or even a way to cut the clamps off

some reason i not getting it, i have to choose repair guides first then the year and final 3.4 engine size and then takes me to page that only offers

* Engine Electrical
* Driveability&emissions Controls
* Brakes
* Suspension&steering
* Chassis Electrical
* Routine Maintenance
* Engine&engine Overhaul
* Body&trim
* Drive Train
* Fuel System

but if i choose say Engine&Engine overhaul nothing under there
and there isnt anything under this page
