it is a two pc. plastic connector, the inner pc. fits around the heater core lines (usually light in color) it has two barbs on opposing sides which lock into the outer pc. (usually black in color). the outer part of the connector has openings for these barbs to lock into. there are two tabs at the ends of the connector which must be squeezed in to unlock the barbs (there is a tool for this rent it at your local parts store). the seal is made by the use of o-rings.

It take a special tool to release the hose connector. I went to O'Rielly and they show me the Dorman Quick Disconnect replacement part ($6.29) and the Disconnect tool set ($19.99).

Snap on the 3/4" disconnect tool onto the heater core tube, then slide the tool into hose connector to release the dog ears inside the connector. Then pull the connector off. It took me about 30 second to remove the disconnect once I had the connect tools.

That is engine coolant rushing through the heater core. Things to check.

Does anybody have a fix for a 97 firebird 3.8 heater hose quick disconnect without spending big bucks for a new hose?
1) you can cap both sides off and not use your heater, do this by purchasing $2 worth of heater hose that fits over the quick connect spout on both sides and use hose clamps to secure it --- that's the cheapest way 2) I'm sure there are plenty of 98-99 wrecked firebirds at the junkyard you can get those hoses off of 3) if you have just one hose that is busted, cut the quick connect off, purchase a brass tube that will fit in the hose and hoseclamp that side about 3 inches back from where you cut it off, purchase some heater hose that will fit over your existing heater hose, as this should also fit over the quick connect nipple on the engine, and you can then use 2 more hoseclamps to secure that as well. 4) Visit www.v6fixit.com. They have a kit for a great low price that will fix your problem.
