I have a 1990 XJ RENIX that I am starting the process to flush the heater core. It has never been done on this vehicle and I have never done the job before myself.
Initial steps to get the hoses off from the heater core inlet and outlets is choosing to be difficult (why not, it's almost 30 years old). The top inlet has a 6" section of hose joining the inlet to the "T" section. I'm able to get the hose off from the "T" section side but not from the heater core side. Should I just cut it off? I have fresh 5/8" and 3/4" heater hose at hand.
The bottom outlet is similar but the hose has about a 45 degree bend in it. Is this special and can I just use a straight piece of hose if I have to cut that one as well?
