Heater Core Coolant Hose

Hey guys, what's the easiest way to replace one of the heater core coolant hoses by the firewall? It's a '99. Thanks!

There won't be an easy way. You take out the air duct work to the throttle body. Take out the two dog bone motor mounts up top. Tilt the engine forward and then just reach in there. You might be able to go along the exhaust manifold that runs past your thermostat housing with your right arm and then go up. You also will have to reach around behind your Ignition Control Module (ICM) with your left arm. If you could take the ICM out, that would make it easier. You're gonna be pulling your hair out trying to disconnect those hose clamps. Good luck.

Use a Dremmel tool with a cutting disk to cut those ?&#** clamps.....

They sell special tools with long flexible extensions that make it easy to remove those clamps......hard part is getting the hose off the nipple.....
