test k got the pressure tester and the cap tested bad. Then put pressure on the radiator and almost all the hoses started spittin. many of them cracked and spit if i just squeezed them. So i spose that was probably the problem. Anyway what the hell do I have to remove inside the car to get at the heater core so I can replace its hoses? BTW I'm in Austin Texas(and proud of it), dunno if anyone here is from around there.
If its factory ac the heater hoses are removable outside the firewall. On non factory ac cars, remove the package tray or lower dash, which ever you have. You can then get at the clamps that hold the hose on the ends of the heater core. You can remove the heater core by simply removing all the clips from around the perimeter. Then the front half of the heater box will come off and you can pull the core out to where the clamps are more accessible.
