You can also get a long one to cut into different lengths. If you have an old tire iron that you don't care about anymore you could cut the ends on that to get your bar too.

I did the same. I have metal heater hoses behind my engine on my Isuzu Trooper. It has short hoses from the core to the pipes then the metal pipes, then more hoses. Then a metal pipe again into the manifold. Ripped it all out and got 1 hose with a 90' molded end. Threw in a 5/8" barb into the manifold. Now I just have 1 connection and each end. Why they couldn't have done it this way back in 1991 I have no clue?

Had the same thing happen on a my 96 Silverado 5.7 Vortec. I had to use a cape chisel and split the fitting in two. Got it all out, and put an old school fitting with a bib in. Took the push in fitting out along with the hose and replaced with new hose end to end. Used a hose clamp on both ends and no more issues. On the 96 5.7 this fitting is on the front of the passenger side of the intake so using a cape chisel was fairly easy. But I do have a smaller version of the tool you used. And man your right these things are awesome!!

The biggest difference between the pro and the amateur is their versatility when dealing with misadventures, like this. Great job to get yourself out of trouble, and good for you to post the experience. The old style method to clearing an engine and heater core of coolant debris was to attach a garden hose and flush it out, we even installed fittings to do that. Very effective but not so easy to recycle the large volume of fluid.

The tool is a version of an "easy out". This scenario is one reason why every home mechanic needs a heat gun. When you first started and applied PB Blaster, you should have done that right after you shut the engine off from normal operating temp (same for R&R of O2 sensors). Because the the female threaded boss will expand faster than the hose connector, the heat with crate a minute gap or path for the penetrant. Let it set until cool to touch. This is usually enough to get out the water jacket connectors that live in a highly corrosive environment. After it broke, if you had heated the remaining piece in the manifold (actually the boss around it best you can) with a heat gun, the female threaded portion (the threaded manifold boss) will expand faster than the broken male threaded piece. The penetrant will suck into the threads and they will let go of each other quicker/easier. Easy outs don't always work but you can help them by using heat. Sometimes that doesn't work either unfortunately. Then it's pull the manifold time and choose between getting a different manifold or taking yours to a machine shop. Be aware that these threaded fittings that go into water jackets and water pumps are almost always "tapered threads", AKA "pipe threads". Over tighten the new one too much and you'll crack the threaded boss it screws into.

That happened to my 1996 Chevrolet Silverado truck 5.7 liter 7 years ago. It was a nightmare getting the remnants of that "pot-metal" from the intake manifold. That cool removal tool was not available to me. The damage was extensive to the threads in the manifold from dissimilar metal corrosion. Had to over size drill and tap to fit the earlier version heater hose adapter made of steel GM used for decades before. No matter what I used to seal the threads the intake metal was not strong enough to handle proper torque pressure resulting with a very slow leak that I just dealt with. With daily commute it lost about 1 quart per month. 3 years later I replaced the engine due to severe rod bearing clatter not related to this scenario. Bought this truck at a salvage sale with unknown history. Good to see I am not alone with mid 90's GM woes lol Love your videos Jimmy!

I was so happy to hear someone else complain about car "quick connects" which are used on many hoses. I HATE them darn things!!!! I'm a retired ASE master mechanic who worked at a Dodge dealer. Mopar used the junk quick connects on too many different hoses that all carry different fluids. I'm sure you remember Dodge's recall on them. The factory connects had plastic inserts locking the trans cooler line to the case fitting. The recall involved replacing the fittings with metal locking inserts. I was in one of the vehicles that promted the recall. A friend and fellow master mechanic and I were working on a 3/4 ton van for an intermittant misfire only under a load. Needless a lot of "power braking" occurred as we tried to hunt down the missfire. All of a sudden (the eng cover was removed) the engine was a ball of fire. The "power braking" caused the plastic insert to melt and fail. We all know that the most heat from an auto trans is from the torque converter, especially if "power braking". Because of the misfire, I'm sure the catylitic converter was much hotter than normal. It was the perfect storm for a fire. When the connector failed it sprayed hot ATF directly onto the hot catylist and boom!!! No property damage or injury occurred, thank God! A couple weeks later we had a factory rep come and examine the van, taking pictures of the root cause of the fire. A few months later the recall was announced. At the same time we had a new 4x4 on our lot that burned so bad it looked like a 50 year old rustbucket. Hose clamps have been working since the first automobiles and they still do a perfect job. So why change? MONEY! It's cheaper and faster to connect a quick connect at the assembly line, saving time and the ultimate greedy goal, saving money. I heard that from a factory employee so I'm sure it's true. My opinion of the money saving quick connects are that they are dangerous. The factory connectors rust and break, then the mechanic has no choice to rig up something that works or wait a few days for the local dealer can get the part. I have some on the heater hoses on my car and I dread if one of them were to leak. What used to be a simple repair with only a screwdriver is now a major deal between the parts availability and the numerous special tools that releases the connectors. I wish I had one of my 50s or 60s cars from the past. They were 200% easier to work on!!!

The trick to successfully using this tool is getting it in deep enough so the splines can dig in. Use a hammer to get it started straight into the old connector that is in the hole. Then slowly use an air hammer to drive it in. After that, use a 5/8" socket and a pipe on the socket wrench handle for leverage. I vacuum the hole then and then run the engine twice for 2 seconds to pump the debris out. Works every time. Use full stainless hose clamps and not worry about it again.
