Heater Hose removal

[james750]

How do you disconnect the heater hose on the side that has the crimped connection?

Which heater hose?

Use a hacksaw to cut the crimp. Pry it open with a large screwdriver.

Thanks for the tips guys. Man, last night was a rough night for working on the MJ. It needed a new thermostat. When I pulled the heater hose it cracked up the side. I ended up using an angle grinder to cut the crimp, then when installing the thermostat housing, the housing cracked and broke, I went into town and got a replacement. At this point, I am rather frustrated with this job; I then went to install the new housing, and the bottom bolt dropped into the inside edge of the water pump pulley :headpop: . I could not get to the bolt with a magnet or my fingers, I decided to bump the starter a little to throw the bolt out. This is the first time the truck has EVER started with less than 1 revolution of the engine, throwing all the coolant out of the front outlet of the motor :fs1: . I should have pulled a coil wire but I thought that there was no way it would start with only a little pulse of the starter. I then found a new bolt to use and bolted it back together. :chillin:

Just had to vent a little, I will step down now.
