Removing coolant hoses

[-KarL-]

got some new samco hoses and having trouble removing the 2 ones at the back that join the bulk head.

they dont want to budge at all!!

is there a tool that they need to be removed with?

 

[DrR]

You'll have fun removing those!

no tool as such you have to push in mega hard and pull like fk

took me ages to get off lol

good luck

These 2 clips took me longer to get off than doing everything else, inlucding filling up with coolant etc.

 

[Adey.]

i got one off ended up cutting the other barstool off

 

[-KarL-]

are the clips to be used again? if i cut the thing off will jubilee clips do

 

[DrR]

I also cut them off in the end, I replaced mine with a genuine hose and they where on the end of the new hose, no idea on samco though, if you've alread got the new hoses just look at them?

 

[-KarL-]

new hoses have nothing on the end of them, they are just flared out at the ends

You dont need the bits of the hose that plug in they'll be jubilee clipped on the samco. I think I used welding clamps to push the button bits in so I could put all my effort into pulling lol

ahhhh i'll get some jubilee clips and will cut the things off since i dont need them
