Hello
I am in the process of disconnecting the heater hose Quick Disconnect metals lines to remove the DCCV.Can someone explain the procedure on how to disconnect and how to reconnect these lines.i have beent old there isa special tool to do so.
Thanks Fitz

 

There is nothing special about the clamps, there are two tabs that you squeeze together with a pair of pliers to loosen and slide off. The trick is that the car is assembled where its hard to get to the tabs. The one that was hard in my car was top radiator hose. There are special tools that you can get but its hard to find. I used a long pair of needle nose thats 12 to 14" long that can be bought at any auto parts store. The rest of the clamps came off with a standard pair of pliers.

 

Push the hose foward on to the pipes. Sqeeze the the tabs with plier or your fingers. I heard a click when my tabs were squeezed in. Then rock the hose back and forth as you pull them off.

There are O-rings in the quick connects the may fall out just letting you know so you can look for them.

What kind of problem were you having with your DCCV?

Good luck just replaced mine 2 weeks ago.
