Does anyone have any experience replacing this hose? The FSM refers to it as a heater hose, i can see the clamps on it but it looks super cramped.
Thanks
Any time, the angle head needle nose pliers and their cousin the LONG REACH angle head needle nose pliers are honestly the most important tool in the toolbox.
It's sort of an inside joke at work that they are my most used tool, I ALWAYS carry them with me even though they technically aren't on my "tool list".
Anytime I'm at the shop it's basically the same, always have my angle head needles, I couldn't imagine trying to work on a car without them. I use them for holding down the squeeze retainer on practically EVERY wire harness, and for removing hose clamps, and prying off hoses, and holding bolts by the threads so I don't drop them, etc.
If I have to go into the zombie apocalypse with one tool it's not going to be my AR, it's going to be those angle head needle nose pliers.
I can't even imagine working on a car without them these days.
I even leverage surgical tools.
OP: Did you replace the plastics? IE: bleed valve
Yeah i did, bleeder valve and the other heater union were both seeping. Bringing this car back from the dead to give to my sister after picking it up like 2 years ago from a friend for cheap.
