The clamps could be going bad, or you may have started to crush the tubes on the heater core by overtightening and now they wont stay on. i found out that the clamps are quick release so you squeeze the side of the plastic clip and pull the hose off.

How do you by-pass the heater core on a 1997 Dodge Caravan?
There are two hoses coming from the engine that go to the heater core in the dash. One is a supply hose and the other is a return hose. You simply take these hoses loose where they enter the firewall and connect them together using a double hose barb with clamps. I think it's a 5/8ths barb that you need.

How do you replace a heater core in a 1994 Oldsmobile Achieva?
Re: How to replace 95 Achieva heater core... Drain the antifreeze. Keep the drain pan under the heater core hoses. Disconnect the battery. Remove the hose clamps/ 2 hoses fom the heater core from under the hood in the engine compartment. These hoses are hard to reach. You can try to reach the hose clamps from under the raised car. Inside the car: remove the center console if you have one (there is a little clip to pry out from the front of the trans-shift lever), heater ducts and covers and the square black plastic heater core cover. You will need various small sockets. Then just snap the 2 straps loose and replace the core. Make sure that the hoses are not the source of the leaks. Replace the hoses if they are old. One of the hoses is 3/4" on one end and 5/8" on the other end. So, you will need a hose size adapter in the hose if it not a factory hose assembly. I dont remember the size of the other hose.

How to by pass the heater core on a 1993 Pontiac trans port?
Here he easiest way to bypass a heater core on just about any vehicle. 1. Locate the input and output hoses that go the heater core. 2. Trace them to the closest connection point before the firewall of the vehicle. 3. Disconnect both hoses by lossening the clamps that hold them. 4. Find a piece of sturdy pipe (heat rated PVC, steel, Copper, etc.) that will fit INSIDE both hoses. Some vehicles have difference size input and output hoses so you may need an adapter to make a big to little pipe. 5. Put the pipe into both ends of the hoses and tighted the clamps. 6. Make sure the not joined hoses do not fall into any moving parts of the engine compartment. You may need to tie it up with some type of wire (electricl wire works well). There.. your done. You heater core won't leak and the vehicle will not loose any more antifreeze through the heater core. But .. you won't have any heat in the car either. This is a quick fix to get your car back on the road until you can repair it properly. Hope this helps.

How do you replace the fuel filter located on a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder?
The fuel filter is at the rear of the fuel tank, Above the rear end of the vehicle, it is clalped to a support bracket by a bolt with a 10 mm head, it has a rubber hose on each end with Phillips head screw hose clamps . It is easier to remove the screw clamps before you loosen the filter from the bracket. Once you remove the clamps and hose from the tank side loosen the hold down clamp, slide the filter out toward the passenger side and then remove the exzisting hose. The hoses will probably be stuck to the filter from the hose clamp pressure, just turn the hoses back and forth by hand until they break loose. A little liquid soap on the filter will allow the hoses to slide back in place easily. MAKE SURE THE CLAMPS ARE TIGHT after re installation
How do you remove the heater core in a 1978 Chevy van?
On early (1978)Chevy Vans you access the heater core thru the small hood in front of the Van. On the left side locate the two heater core hose's and observe the cover that holds the blower motor and core. Remove the bolts that secure the cover to the firewall and pry the cover loose. You may have to disconnect the heater blower motor electric plug. Some covers were sealed shut with some type of adhesive and the cover may require a considerable amount of prying to free. Installation is reverse of the remove and new hoses and clamps are always a good idea.As far as heater core R-N-R'S not a very difficult job.

Blend door actuator and heater core on 2000 ford windstar works why are you still getting cold air?
What about the blend door itself? They are known to break loose from the shaft they mount to. Also, with the engine running and fully warmed up, feel both heater hoses as they enter the heater core from under the hood, they should both be quite hot (180+ degrees F). If one is hot/warm and the other is warm/cold, the heater core may be blocked/plugged. If that is the case give the heater core a good flush with the garden hose. If both heater hoses are hot, you still have a blend door problem as stated above. If both heater hoses are cold, you may have a stuck open thermostat or you are very low on coolant.
