lower heater hose inlet pipe fitting

[FastCAD]

Is there any fix for the leaking pressure fitting coming off the small rubber hose from the engine to the heater pipe? (91)

If you are referring to the factory crimp on hose, there is. You slice the crimp and just replace with bulk hose.

If its the straight hose that is two different diameters, it was on clearance on Rockauto. If you are changing that one, you might also consider the hoses to the heater core as well if they are all the same age.

Thanks for the reply.
How should I slice off the factory metal crimp at the pipe?
Is the fitting aluminum?

I, recently replaced all rubber hoses in '14. The heater (pipe hoses) w/bracket & the lower w/temp. fitting were impossible to find.
If the fix works on one it will work on the other.
It's great to have u guys around. Just wish we were closer. SoFla. here.
Thanks a lot.

ps. if anyone needs rubber hose replacement numbers for the 1st gen. just let me know.

Use a Dremel to cut/pry the crimp clamp off then just use a regular clamp to hold the new hose on. Be careful not to cut into the pipe when cutting the old clamp off.

Thanks everyone.
Job complete. Managed to get my Rockwell X2 in there to do the cut.
Not bad but I can't seem to work on the SHO without donating blood.

That seems to be the going price for us DIY'ers
